The Russian Revolution of 1917 overthrew the oppressive rule of Czar Nicholas II and established a communist government led by the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin. Inspired by Karl Marx's political ideas of communism, the Bolsheviks and other revolutionaries revolted against the Czar due to widespread poverty and inequality. After the Czar's abdication and assassination, Lenin led the new Soviet government but died in 1924. This led to a power struggle between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin, with Stalin emerging victorious and becoming the new totalitarian leader of the USSR through the 1930s. He established a secret police force and eliminated all opposition, resulting in the deaths of millions of citizens.

The Russian Revolution overthrew the absolute monarchy of Czar Nicholas II in 1917. The Czar had exhausted Russia's economy through involvement in World War I, leaving the population poor and starving while he lived comfortably. Inspired by the communist ideas of Karl Marx, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, launched a successful revolt against the Czar. In 1918, the Czar and his entire family were assassinated by the revolutionary government. A power struggle ensued after Lenin's death in 1924, which was won by Joseph Stalin through deception and force. Stalin went on to become a ruthless dictator, eliminating opponents through his secret police and causing the deaths of millions of innocent people through his oppressive rule.Russian revolutionnew

The Russian Revolution overthrew the Russian Czar Nicholas II in 1917 and established the Soviet Union led by the communists under Vladimir Lenin. Weakened by World War I and widespread poverty and hunger, the Russian people revolted against the Czar's rule seeking land, bread, and an end to the war. This led to a civil war as the communists defeated other parties to gain power and execute the royal family, establishing the USSR that lasted until 1991 under Marxist principles.Russian Revolution

There were two revolutions - in February 1917, the Czar abdicated and a provisional government took over, and in October 1917 the Bolsheviks led by Lenin seized power.

The Russian Revolution was marked by the abdication of Czar Nicholas II in 1917, leading to the rise of the Bolsheviks under Lenin after a period of unrest and the ineffective provisional government. The revolution was borne out of discontent from the working class due to food shortages and military losses, culminating in the February Revolution and later the October Revolution where the Bolsheviks seized power. The subsequent civil war pitted the Bolshevik Red Army against the loyalist White Army, resulting in a Bolshevik victory and significant political changes in Russia, including the establishment of a regime that employed terror as a political tool.Socialism in Europe and the Russian revolution

Vladimir Lenin led the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, overthrowing the czarist government and establishing the Soviet Union. After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin rose to power and established a totalitarian dictatorship, instituting policies like collectivization of agriculture, rapid industrialization through Five Year Plans, and the Great Purge which eliminated political opponents.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 involved two revolutions that dismantled Imperial Russia and led to the rise of the Soviet Union. The February Revolution replaced Tsar Nicholas II with a provisional government, while the October Revolution, led by the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the provisional government and established Soviet rule. Lenin's Bolsheviks promised to withdraw from WWI, redistribute land to peasants, and improve workers' lives. This led to their popularity and enabled them to seize power in the October Revolution, establishing a communist government and beginning civil war as opponents fought to remove them from power.
