In August, the Council of State met in [[Moscow]] with General Kornilov and representatives from [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922)|Britain]] and [[French Republic (1870–1940)|France]] and planned to suppress the revolutionary movement and abolish the soviets. In September, he sent General [[Aleksandr Krymov|Krymov]]'s Third Mounted Corps to attack Petrograd. Kerensky worried that an uprising against Kornilov would overthrow him as well and tried to dissociate himself from Kornilov. Workers dug trenches around Petrograd, and sailors from Kronstadt arrived to defend the city. They defeated Kornilov's forces, leading Krymov to kill himself, and arrested Kornilov and [[Anton Denikin|Denikin]]. However, Kerensky soon released them. These events greatly increased the Bolsheviks' popularity, especially among the [[peasantry]]. The SRs and Mensheviks split into left and right factions.<ref name=":0" /> | In August, the Council of State met in [[Moscow]] with General Kornilov and representatives from [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922)|Britain]] and [[French Republic (1870–1940)|France]] and planned to suppress the revolutionary movement and abolish the soviets.
