                 RUSSIAN REVOLUTION


Revolution are the great turning points of history.forcible overthrow of a government or social order ,in favor of  a new system. Russia is located in northeastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the  largest country in the world with a total area of 17,075,200,sq,km.Russia shares  land boarders with fourteen neighboring countries.Russian capital city is Moscow.

When we look at the Russian revolution The Russian revolution was a political movement in Russia  in 1917. It overthrow of the Russian tsar system. The main leaders of the Russian revolution were Vladimir Lenin ,Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky.Russian revolution include two revolutions.

Immediate cause of the Russian revolution was February revolution. The February revolution began on march 8 according to our calendar, it was February on the Russian calendar.The revolution began when a number of workers decided to strike and  People began to riot. During that time Russia ruled by Nicholas 2.The other causes of Russian revolution are Autocratic rule of the czars,The social system,The rise of Nihilism, Influence of industrial revolution, World war 1,October revolution and Role of the “Vladimir Lenin”.

Autocratic rule of the czars is the one of the most important reason for Russian revolution. Czar Alexander II brought some reforms in Russia and became famous among all. But after him Czar Alexander III and Czar Nicholas II became despotic. During their reign the political organizations  Zemstvo and Duma had lost their political powers. And the other reason is The social system The Russian Society was divided into two classes before the Revolution. They were the rich and the poor. The Clergy, nobles and the rich belonged to the rich class. The peasants, laborers and serfs belonged to the poor class. These societies were imbalanced. And the other causes is The policy of russification,Czar Alexander III was not only a despotic ruler but he also followed the policy of Russification of all the systems. His son Czar Nicholas II also followed his policy. He declared ‘One Czar, One Church, One Russia. The rise of nihilism, The preachers of Nihilism came forward to destroy the prevailing rule, society and religious faith and Create a new world.


Influence of industrial revolution, The Industrial Revolution helped to flame the fire of Revolution in Russia.After the industrial revolution many factories were established in Russia with several ‘Labour Organisations’. And the othe one is World war 1, The out break of the first world war further helped set the country on the path of revolution.many people were against Russia, entering the war and many of their problems steadily grew worse. And the other important cause of Russian revolution is, October revolution and Role of the “Vladimir Lenin”.During this period there were 2 party (Bolshevik – red, Menshevik – white)The “Bolsheviks” came to power in Russia during the October revolution phase of the Russian revolution of 1917.Lenin founded the Russian “soviet federative socialist republic” which would later become the soviet union 1922.Nicholas 2 and his family were executed by Bolshevik forces.so these are reason for Russian revolution.

When we look at the effect of Russian revolution are Russia turning in to the communist country after Russia became known as the soviet union. After the socialism, Democracy, Internationalism and nationalism spread throughout the world, Abdication of Nicholas 2,Many people died and Improved working condition so these are the important about Russian revolution.
