Russian Revolution An Overview

Life under the Czar Most people in Russia were poor peasants called serfs who lived on land owned by wealthy landowners Students protests, peasant revolts, and worker strikes were common

Life under the Czar The Russo-Japanese War ended in a humiliating defeat for Russia and showed that Czarist rule was weak and disorganized.

Life under the Czar World War I brought great suffering to the Russian people It brought shortages in housing, food, and fuel Russian armies were ill-equipped and were soundly defeated – 1.7 million killed, 5 million injured.

March Revolution 1917 Bread riots Soldiers sent to end the violent protests side with the demonstrators Czar Nicholas is forced to resign (abdicate) Bloodless revolution Provisional government set up with Kerensky in charge Keeps Russia in the war

Germany takes advantage of Russian unrest Germany knows USA coming to Western front; wants to get rid of Russians on Eastern front Helps exiled Lenin to return

November Revolution 1917 Wages increased between revolutions Cost of food and other necessities increased at a higher rate On an average, food increased in price 556 per cent., or 51 per cent more than wages. On an average the above categories of necessities increased about 1,109 per cent, in price, more than twice the increase of salaries Bolsheviks (Reds) take power

November Revolution 1917

November Revolution 1917 Civil War breaks out – Reds vs. Whites Bolsheviks prevail through shear brutality – even when out numbered. Vladimir Lenin leads the revolution based upon his own interpretations of the writings of Karl Marx Lenin signs Treaty of Brest-Litvosk with Germany to get out of war

November Revolution 1917

Marxism Believed humanity was changing, Industrialization was to blame. Horrified by working conditions. Capitalists were getting richer than workers creating a significant gap between the two Believed one of the following would happen: Rich must distribute wealth A worker led violent revolution

Leninism Lenin fascinated by industrialization, wanted to bring that to Russia Differed from Marx in his belief that the world wide communist revolution had to be led by a power elite forcing it forward – not just the common man.

Leninism Communist Party was the only party allowed. The use of force and terror through the secret police (Cheka) was necessary and good for the cause Used slogans, include “Bread, Land, Peace and All Power to the Soviets.”

Lenin’s Death Died in January 1924. Believed Leon Trotsky should replace him as leader. Trotsky had successfully lead Red Army against the White Army. Had a vision of the Soviet Union in line with Lenin. He wanted to focus on agriculture.

Lenin’s Death Lenin believed that Stalin could not handle the power that came with leadership. Stalin believed in the industrialization of the nation. Stalin takes control, has Trotsky killed.
