J: Hello Everyone! All hail the Tsar! This is Lisa Kim and Jorma Bushnell with the morning news and announcements L: Comrades! We’ve been just informed that the food supplies are on its way. But it’s going to take longer than it was expected because of the frozen landscape. But fear not! It is on the way! J: Yes comrades! WE are saying the absolute truth and the only truth! As everyone knows, our economy hasn’t been as good as it used to be because more than half of our Russian men have bravely went to participate in the Great war! Not to mention the lack of workers to support to the Russian industry and factories. In addition, and transportation issues, such as weapons and food due to frozen land has left a disastrous effect on Russia. L: Well… The news is that our great leader tsar has decided to yield the power to the provisional government for now. M: Yes! ALL HAIL RUSSIA! L: Don’t worry comrades! Yes the provisional government will be taking control of Russia until elected leaders are chosen. They are temporary, but until the elections they ARE our government. J: The provisional government has just declined the peasant’s wishes for more land and has made the decision to keep participating in the Great War. L: Ouch… The leaders are from the middle classes, are they not? Let’s go ask some of the civilians outside. M: “So what do you feel about the provisional government system?” Je: “Its preposterous! WHY will they not give us more land to live on??” M: “I KNOW! They don’t understand our desires and why are we still on the war when its clear that it doesn’t benefit us at all??” Thank goodness they made the Petrograd Soviet! I hope they protect the interest of both working people and soldiers in Russia. We will just have to be patient and wait for now.  J: Yes, the leaders of the provisional government are associated from the middle class the lower class is very frustrated I heard… L: They don’t seem very happy J: We can all see that Lisa BOOMBOOMBOOM J: What was that???
