The **Provisional Russian Republic** (Russian: Временная Российская Республика, Ukrainian: Тимчасова Російська Республіка, Belarusian: Часовая Pасійская Pэспубліка, Kazakh: Уақытша Ресей Республикасы) was a self-proclaimed secessionist government of the Soviet Union along with a provisional government-in-exile established in 1965 at the beginning of the Third World War, it was a political entity that emerged amidst the global conflict between the Western and Eastern powers. Formed by the Allies in order to represent the Soviet Union, it consisted of dissident thinkers, intellectuals, military personnel, civilians, criminals and amongst other critics of the Soviet regime. Amidst the backdrop of the intense ideological and geopolitical rivalry between the Western and Eastern powers, the Provisional Russian Republic arose as a beacon of hope for those who opposed the Soviet regime. It claimed to be the legitimate government of all Russia and aimed to restore democratic governance, human rights, civil liberties, personal freedoms and national sovereignty in the country. The establishment of the Provisional Russian Republic represented a significant break from the centralised Soviet rule and symbolised a new era for the Russian people. The formation of the Provisional Russian Republic was met with both internal and external challenges. Internally, the Republic faced the arduous task of unifying diverse factions and opposition groups that had long been suppressed under Soviet rule. It sought to build a broad coalition encompassing various political ideologies and social interests, with the ultimate goal of fostering national unity and democratic values.

Coinciding with the Provisional Russian Republic, the establishment of the Armed Forces of Free Russia represented the military forces of the organisation, as it consolidated various factions and resistance movements under a unified command structure. This military force became a potent symbol of defiance against the Soviet Union, rallying disparate groups together in their shared struggle against the Communist government's oppressive rule. Soviet prisoners of war, disillusioned with the Soviet regime, often joined the Armed Forces of Free Russia after experiencing the harsh realities of Soviet rule and betrayal. Their knowledge of Soviet military tactics and infrastructure proved invaluable in the fight against their former comrades. Additionally, Soviet military personnel who defected to the side of the Provisional Russian Republic brought with them valuable insights into the inner workings of the Soviet armed forces, providing crucial intelligence and expertise to the burgeoning resistance movement. The inclusion of former members of the Comintern forces and other defectors from various nations aligned with the Soviet Union added to the multinational background of the Armed Forces of Free Russia. This diverse composition brought with it a wealth of military experience, diverse cultural perspectives, and specialised skills that bolstered the capabilities of the armed forces. The bulk of the Armed Forces of Free Russia, however, comprised rebels from different regions within the USSR who vehemently opposed the Communist government. These rebels, driven by a variety of motivations ranging from political ideology to religious and ethnic aspirations, saw the formation of the Provisional Russian Republic as an opportunity to join forces and challenge the Soviet regime. Their participation in the armed forces brought a decentralised and grassroots element to the resistance movement, as they fought for their respective causes while operating under the broader umbrella of the Armed Forces of Free Russia.

At its core the Provisional Russian Republic was led by a group of dedicated individuals, the Russian Provisional Republic was founded by its leaders who were Ismael Poremsky, Valevach Isaak, Yablonev Rollan, and Podshivalov Mitrofan. These prominent figures played a dual role as both political leaders and military commanders, guiding both the political strategies and military operations of the armed forces. Under the leadership of Poremsky, Isaak, Rollan, and Mitrofan, the Russian Provisional Republic and the Armed Forces of Free Russia collaborated closely to advance the cause of liberation and self-determination under the Allied forces, with the forces of the Provisional Russian Republic also fighting abroad in various theatres throughout the duration of the war. Their joint efforts encompassed both political and military spheres, as they worked in unison to galvanise support for the establishment of a new free Russia, and effectively wage war against the Soviet regime. The headquarters of the Russian Provisional Republic in London served as a vital hub for the resistance movement, offering a central location for decision making, coordination, and diplomatic outreach. From this base, Poremsky and the other leaders engaged in negotiations with foreign governments, lobbied for support from the international community, and disseminated information about the plight of the Russian people under Soviet rule. By the end of the war, the Provisional Russian Republic was then moved to Moscow and was a signatory with the Treaty of Moscow, officially ending hostilities during the Third World War and leading up to the proclamation of the Second Russian Republic.

As a signatory of the Treaty of Moscow, the Russian Provisional Republic effectively replaced the defunct Soviet Union and heralded the dawn of a new era for the Russian country. With this momentous achievement, the Provisional Russian Republic paved the way for the establishment of the Second Russian Republic, signalling a transition from the oppressive regime of the past to a more democratic and inclusive future. However, despite the promising prospects of a post-war Russia, the internal landscape was fraught with challenges and conflicts. The aftermath of the war had left the country in ruins, with infrastructure decimated and resources depleted. The newly established Second Russian Republic faced the task of rebuilding the nation from ruins after the end of the war, where it was supported by the victorious Allies with humanitarian assistance and economic aid, while also addressing the deep-rooted divisions and grievances that had plagued Russian society for decades. Internal conflicts, both political, ethnic, linguistic and religious plagued the nascent Second Russian Republic. Factions rapidly emerged within the government, representing different visions for the future of the nation. These divisions, coupled with the legacy of the Soviet era and the intricate web of power dynamics, hindered the smooth transition to stability and impeded the process of national reconciliation. Rebuilding the economy, fostering social cohesion, and navigating the complex process of democratisation were formidable challenges faced by the Second Russian Republic. The task of healing the wounds of war and addressing the grievances of various factions required patience, negotiation, and a commitment to inclusive governance. The government faced the delicate balancing act of promoting stability while accommodating diverse perspectives and aspirations.
