Dual issue of power:
-2 powers coexisted with each other and competed for legitmacy
*unstable situation-opportunity for Lenin + Bolsheviks to seize power
Military issue:
-Petrograd Soviet issued a decree to the whole country (1st March 1917)
*claim authority on the military (undermines PG)
*officers don't have authority to demand when soldiers pick up their weapons
*Proletariat of soldiers form committees and send representatives to the PS
*PG can tell army to do whatever unless there was a different order given by the Soviet to do the contrary
-the PS don't fulling trust the PG (similar to old regime)
*can use military to crush counteraction from public
*have protection
