As a minimum, the PG should:
1. Promise a comprehensive land reform after the war. There should be an effective large scale propaganda campaign saying that the Germans are planning to occupy a big part of Russia, confiscate the land and move their farmers there or some othe demagoguery to the similar effect to provide at least some plausible reason for the soldiers to keep fighting. Idiocy of the claims is absolutely irrelevant: in OTL Bolshevik propaganda portrayed general Wrangel as a German (and a loyal servant of Kaiser Wilhelmina) who can’t speak proper Russian and it was OK. Needless to say that he came from a family that lived in Russia for many generations and, while he was not as a good writer as his father, his memoirs are written in a very good Russian, he graduated from Institute of Mining Engineering in St. Petersburg and made military career during WWI. As far as propaganda is involved, the facts do not matter and during WWI Russian propaganda was quite inept.
2. Not to let organization of the Soviets, especially on of Petrograd and in the army.
3. Maintain discipline by all means. Rights of the officers should be restricted only in the area of beating soldiers. By all means keep the officer corps loyal (by that time most of them were from a middle class).
4. Adopt the defensive strategy disregarding allied requests: they paid no attention to the events on the East and these requests proved to be excessively costly.
5. Execute as many Bolsheviks as possible labeling them as the German spies.
6. Actively create serious loyal force in the rear, not just a female battalion and a bunch of kids from the military schools. Cossack, Chinese, Latvians, etc. like the commies did. Even the Czech POWs. When this is done start gradually rotating the troops from the front with those garrisoned in Petrograd. Disarm the Kronstadt sailors or start sending them to the front.
7. Try to improve food supplies in the Petrograd and Moscow.
8. Don’t print worthless money.
9. Don’t disband the police.
10. Martial law could be helpful if there is enough forces to enforce it: Bolsheviks managed this with ad hoc forces.
11. Take care that Constitutional Assembly starts producing at least some results ASAP.
12. Fire Brusilov.![]()
This user is advocating genocide and should be banned.
Nr 5 "Execute as many Bolsheviks as possible" would be genocide, that would be 45 million people. "As many as possible"
The OP suggested that the landed elite and nobles have to fight at the front and had the possibility of surviving and capturing weapons from the enemy
This user suggests direct murder and genocide and should be banned unless of course the mods are hypocrites and have different standards.
