    The February Revolution in Russia led to a period of dual power in Azerbaijan, as the Provisional Government held authority in Saint Petersburg while local Soviets gained influence. Political parties in Azerbaijan became active, including Musavat and the Turkic Federalist Party. A national liberation movement arose against colonial policies, the Baku Soviet which opposed national interests, and Armenian massacres of Azerbaijanis. In November 1917, the Baku Soviet under Shaumyan established Soviet power in Baku. This led to the formation of the Transcaucasian Commissariat and Seym as Azerbaijan sought self-determination.
