Noting with deep sorrow the lamentable developments that have latterly been affecting our defenceless hotbeds of piety, the Local Council appeals to the Supreme Government of the God-protected Russian State with the request that it take measures to afford genuine protection to Orthodox monasteries, safeguarding them from criminal violations by evil individuals not only of the freedom and welfare of the cloisterers, but also of the integrity and prosperity of the monasteries themselves.

Recently we have observed numerous instances of publication of military information in periodicals, the disclosure of which had a detrimental effect on the course of military action, and sometimes directly helped the enemy. In light of this, the Provisional Government, fully realizing its duty to the motherland, considers it necessary to quickly establish new rules of military censorship.

Every citizen of the Russian state is guaranteed freedom of conscience. Correspondingly, a citizen’s enjoyment of civil and political rights does not depend on his religious confession, and no one can be persecuted or restricted in any of his rights due to his persuasion in matters of faith.

The politics of accommodating the bourgeoisie, the politics of maneuvering between the revolution and the counterrevolution, is clearly becoming unsustainable. The Provisional Government is decidedly turning toward the path of barefaced counterrevolution. The obligation of the revolutionaries is to band together ever more tightly and to move the revolution forward.

I consider the decree of the committee of delegates to deprive officers of their weapons shameful, to the military command, to the officers, the navy and to myself personally. I believe that neither I nor any other officer has done anything that would cast doubts on their sincerity, or suggest the existence of any motives besides their desire to serve Russia’s armed forces.

This program is magnificent. State control, the nationalization of trusts, and the fight against speculation, and labor obligation—my God, how does this differ from "terrible" Bolshevism? What do the "terrible" Bolsheviks really want? But the capitalists will accept this program in order not to fulfill it. But the Mensheviks "trust" the capitalists and teach this destructive trust to the people. This is the total essence of the entire political situation.

The Provisional Government has resolved:

To abolish the death penalty.
In all instances where current civil, military and naval criminal laws prescribe the death penalty as punishment for criminal acts, it shall be replaced by a forced labour term of definite or indefinite duration.
This decree also encompasses court sentences imposed prior to its promulgation and as yet not carried out.
