Simultaneously, the Provisional Government accused of betraying the motherland Rasputin and the Empress . They , as well as the deposed imperial government were also accused of corruption. However, these numerous accusations further found no documentary evidence – despite the fact that the Provisional Government has put a lot of effort to search for evidence. To search for evidence, at the beginning of March 1917 (immediately after the abdication of Nicholas II) was established National Extraordinary Investigation commission (NEIS) of Provisional Government.
By the summer of 1917 the members of the committee NEIS stated that they do not find any of the offense under investigation – and when the chairman of the commission (Muraviev) tried to force them to change their minds , some of them resigned ( in particular, the famous prosecutor Rudnev ) . In 1917 , Kerensky was forced to admit that they " did not find elements of crime in any actions of Nicholas II and his wife." Same Kerensky confirmed to British Ambassador Buchanan. Also NEIS failed to show any corruption charges former tsarist ministers, the general manager and other senior officials , both civilian and military and naval authorities. [31, 32] .
