Answer:
The
Russian Revolution is the collective term for a series of revolution in Russia
in 1917. The Emperor was forced to abdicate and the old regime was replaced by
a provisional government during the first revolution of February 1917. In the
second revolution, during October, the provisional Government was removed and
replaced with a Bolshevik government.
The main circumstances which were responsible for the Russian Revolution
are
(i) Russia's own industries were few in numbers and the
industrial workers were exploited extremely.
(ii) In Russia 85 per cent of people were agriculturists.
The king nobles and church owned large landed properties. Like the industrial
workers, peasants also lived in miserable conditions.
(iii) Russia had an autocracy. Tsar Nicholas II was a deeply
conservative ruler and maintained a strict authoritarian system. He cared
little for the general people. He dragged the Russian into the First World War.
(iv) Karl Marx's theory communism appealed to the people.
He said that workers had to overthrow capitalism and the rule of capitalists by
the revolution.
(v) The popularity of Bolshevik party increased
steadily under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin. The
Bolsheviks had formed committees and Soviets and created conditions
which eventually led to the Russian Revolution.
