Citizens
of all over the world do lot of struggle for their freedom,you can take any of
the country of the world so you will find a new history of that country. As we
see in the case of China, it’s people fought against communism and done

there are many other countries who done lot of struggle for their
establishment. Today we are talking about Russian Revolution. Today we are discussing Struggle of Russian citizens in the Russia Revolution of 1917 so lot of wars happened during this war so read below how Russia Revolution of 1917 happened.
Russia
Revolution of 1917
At
the turn of 20th century, Russia was an Agrarian country (the
country depend on Agriculture for its survival), The Farmers were very poor and
bear by highly Taxed. The key of the country’s government was in hand of
Aristocrats ( Noble family members) and clergy ( related to church). Industrial
development was very minimal at that time in Russia. Workers of these Indutries
were lived in those cities which have overcrowded apartments and Poor
Conditions. There was lack of sewage system and sanitary system in those cities
so people suffered a lot there.
Ideas
of Enlightenment, Democracy, Rights of individual and accountable government
were spread from western Europe by Kant and Immanuel to Russia in 19th
century. Romonovs were absolute Monarchs since 17th century and
Monarch were called by the names of Tsar and Czar who had power to do anything,
they hadn’t any Prime Minister or Cabinet all the Decisions were taken by
themselves, by this the citizens of Russia suffered a lot.Tsar/Czar Nicholas-2
ascends the throne in the year 1894 and he influenced by a person named
Rasputin who was Mystic ( who say I can treat any type of disease of the
world). After sometime the News was heard by the people that Alexendra
(Nicholas-2 wife) committed an Affair with Rasputin.
Karl
Marx and Vladimir Lenin got high value in the Russian revolution, Because Karl
Marx gave the theory of Communism and some additional changes was given by
Lenin in the theory of Marx. He (Marx) gave the theory that the workers of the
society (Proletariat) are the real owner of the Resources but Lenin said if
workers got this power so it took lot of time to understand each and everything
so some educated persons come before these workers and made themselves Dictator
of these workers.These theories were Known by the name of Marxist-Lenninist.
Russian
Social Democratic party ( RSDP)
This
Party was formed in the year 1898, the
leader was Lenin and this party added the Philosophy of Marx and Lenin
which was known by Marxist-Lenninist. This party looked for the interest of
Workers means they worked for the welfare of Workers. But this party split into
Bolsheviks and Mensheviks Faction in 1903. In Russia the term Bolsheviks means
Majority but they never lived in Majority they were less in Number and
Mensheviks means Minority but they always lived as Majority. So both terms are
inverse to each other.
Revolution
of 1905 in Russia
As
we know, Russo-Japanese War occurred in 1905 for Dominance of Manchuria and
Korea because Russia want that port which lies between Manchuria and Korea but
Russia defeated by that small country named Japan and this was the major Reason
of Revolution of 1905.
Workers
strike done in Russia because they were demaning their Rights but they were
suppressed by the Military on the order of Tsar and this was named by Bloody Sunday, when Tsar killed lot of
workers so it arise a fire in the heart of the citizen and they start a huge
Protest so by seing this Tsar agreed to fulfill some demands of the workers and
at that time DUMA (Representative Body/ Parliament) was established in Russia
now the whole power was not in hand of Tsar some of the power come in the hand
of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Peter Stolypin became ist Prime Minister of
Russia ( 1906-11) but he was murdered by the Tsar because Tsar have fear of his
Throne because Peter do lot of works for the welfare of citizens, Lot of Land
reforms was created by Peterand he created a good image in the heart of the
people.
The
World War-1 held in 1914 at where 20 lakh soldiers and 80 lakh civilians of
Russia Dead. The people suffered lot of economic crises food shortage by
upcoming 1917.
Russia Revolution of 1917
There
were 2 revolutions happened in Russia and one of the major reason behind
Revolution is World War-1. There were two phases of this revolution, most of
the people were confused about the dates of these phases, so as we all know
there are 2 calenders ist named as Julian calendar (old calendar) and other one
is Gregorian (new calendar).
Phase-1 of
the Revolution
According
to Julian calendar the first phase of this Revolution occurred in the month of
February but if we go through the Gregorian calendar so this phase happened in
the month of March. The people suffered
from food shortage so 50,000 workers started strike in Petrograd ( known by
Saint Petersburg), this protest causes Tsar Nicholas abdicates in favour of hi
brother Michael, Michael denied to took throne due to fear of Protes and by
this Monarche was come to an end and DUMA took Power and Social Democrat
Provisional governmet had formed. Alexander Kerensky became Prime Minister who
was from Meneshevik faction.
Phase-2 of
the revolution
This phase-2 Revolution occurred in the month of
October according to Julian Calender and according to new calendar it happened
in the month November, but this revolution named by October Revolution and some
people said this Blooddless Revolution.
This
Revolution came in demand because Government
didn’t stop World War, and they didn’t done any type of Elections for
DUMA and people suffered from shoratage of food due to running World War.
Bolsheviks
( RSDP Party) demanded immediate Reforms and withdrawl from World War-1, but
the Government bans the Bolsheviks and arrest leaders. Lenin returned and gave
his famous speeches. SOVIETS ( workers councils) of all over the factories of
the Russia are under Bolshevik control and help in change of Government.
On
October 24, Lenin ordered Red guards ( Part of Bolsheviks) to capture all
government buildings ( schools, offices postoffices) and withn one day they
captured the big city Moscow and Saint Petersburg which cause Mensheviks left
and Bolsheviks came under the government, but Mensheviks were Alive so they
were killed in Russian Civil War which runned from 1917-1922 between Whites
(Supporters of Monarchy,Landlords, noble people, clergy,Mensheviks) and Reds (Bolsheviks, UK, France, USA). Around
30 lakh people killed during this War. Whites defeated, Tsar with his family executed and REDS were known by Red Army and
Bolsheviks become Communist Party of Russia.
This
war causes Establishment of USSR done in this World with Lenin as the 1st
Premier and he followed “Dictatorship of the Poletariat”.
