The Russian Republic hereby informs the world, and France in particular, that we shall not abandon the war, for we cherish our relationships with France and Serbia and will push on to victory in the end. Russia shall stand united and indivisible in her struggle for victory, that with the removal of the Tsar has turned into a struggle of liberty and democracy against that of oppression and authoritarianism. 

-Georgy Lvov, Chairman of the Provisional Government.
