Северный фронт
After the February Revolution of March 1917, the Provisional Government put Bonch-Bruyevich in command of the Russian garrison in Pskov, where he was elected to the executive of the Pskov soviet. After the German army captured Riga (3 September 1917) he was transferred to the northern front. He commanded the Northern Front from 29 August 1917 to 9 September 1917.
