After the Tsar abdicated a Provisional Government (PG) was set up until a Constituent Assembly could be seated to write a constitution. The PG was almost as conservative as the Tsarist regime in that it continued to fight in World War I, was unable to end shortages of food and was not in favor of redistribution of land, the very three things that prompted the revolution that toppled the Tsar.
The PG was impotent in many ways, the most important being that it had to barter for its existence with the Soviets, the various councils of workers, soldiers and peasants. The PG pledged to the Soviets that it would not make major changes to the laws without approval from the Soviets. Thus the PG had responsibility but no power, whereas the Soviets (the councils) had power but no responsibility.
The Bolsheviks and other Marxist parties did everything they could to undermine the authority of the PG including launching a premature revolution in July 1917 that failed.
The PG began losing the support of the armed forces as soldiers began deserting and disobeying orders. Eventually the PG completely lost control of both the army at the front lines and the garrisons withing the cities.

Was Nicholas the last czar of Russia?
Nicholas II was the last Czar. There had been a Nicholas I before him. Your question did not specify which Nicholas was being referred to. There is some theory that either Michael Romanov, Nicholas II's brother, or Alexei Romanov, Nicholas II's son, was the actual last Czar but this is non-sense. The theory that Michael was the last Czar is based on the fact that when Nicholas II abdicated the throne, he passed it on to his brother Michael who refused it, was never crowned and never acted as Czar. The then existing Russian Constitution stated that the Czar could not give the crown to anyone he chose, but that it had to go to his eldest son first. The abdication in Michael's favor was therefore illegal and of no effect. Since he was never the Czar he couldn't have been the last one. The theory that Alexei was the last Czar is also based on the fact that the abdication in favor of Michael was illegal. Since the Constitution stated that the crown fell to the Czar's eldest son, the speculation is that when Nicholas II abdicated, the crown automatically fell to Alexei regardless of the abdication in favor of Michael. The problem with this theory is that Alexei was never crowned Czar and never acted as Czar. Again, since he was never the Czar, he could not have been the last one either.
