Revolution
With the coming of the February Revolution, Tiutiunnyk's military acumen caught the attention of Alexander Kerensky, who was in Crimea at the time. Kerensky offered Tiutiunnyk command of the Headquarters of Odessa Military District, however Tiutiunnyk did not place much faith in the future of the Provisional Government, and declined the post. In Spring of 1917 he participated in creation of the 1st Simferopol Regiment of Hetman Doroshenko.
Tiutiunnyk left for Kiev as military representative for the 2nd All-Ukrainian Military Congress, the meeting of which was unsanctioned. There he became elected as a non-partisan member of the Central Rada, and chairman of the Kiev Revolutionary Committee. Officially Tyutyunnyk was transferred to the 228th Reserve Regiment in Yekaterinoslav.

Famous quotes containing the word revolution:
“I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“The Husband of To-Day ever considers his wife but as a portion of his my-ship.
Nominative I.
Possessive My, or Mine.
Objective Me.
This is the grammar known to the Husband of To-Day.”
—Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (June 24, 1869)
