Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution was the collective term for the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. The first revolution of February 1917 in March in the Gregorian calendar the Czar was deposed and replaced by a Provisional government. In the second revolution in October that year, the Provisional Government removed and replaced with a Bolshevik government.

In the start of 1917 Russia was ripe for revolution. It was growing rapidly, creating and expanded social opportunities but also great uncertainty. There were economic and social changes. Changes were facilitated by the physical movement of peasant villagers who migrated to and from industrial and urban environments, but also the migration of city culture into the village through material goods, the press, and word of mouth.

On Saturday the 25th the police lost control of the revolution, Nicholas II, who refused to believe the warnings about the seriousness of those events, sent a faithful telegram to the chief of the Petrogard military district, General Sergei Khabalov: "I command you tomm0rrow to stop the disorders in the capital, which are unacceptable in the difficult time of war with Germany and Austria."
