THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

Tsar Nicolas II was not a popular guy. However, when war broke out, many Russians were happy. This illustrates a cause of the war: NATIONALISM & IMPERIALISM

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION However, Russia was not successful in winning the war. Tsar Nicholas II had bad management skills. EASTERN FRONT Russia lost 2.3 million 4 million wounded 3.3 million POW

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION NICHOLAS’ MISTAKES -He insisted on personally controlling the war. Thus he became responsible for losses. -His wife was left in control of government.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION NICHOLAS’ MISTAKES -His wife fell under the control of Grigori Efimovich Rasputin, a creepy monk who seemed to be able to cure her son’s haemophilia. -Rasputin was hated by a lot of people because he was creepy.

SIDENOTE: RASPUTIN: -Grew up in a household abused by an alcoholic. -Fell in with a wandering banned Christian mystic sect. -Through faith healing, he was said to have kept Alexei, the Tsar’s son, alive.

SIDENOTE: RASPUTIN: -Rasputin gathered many admirers among the elite, who loved the occult. - People tried to kill Rasputin a lot, but he kept surviving!

SIDENOTE: RASPUTIN: Rasputin was attacked by a former prostitute and stabbed. She was angry about how he talked disrespectfully about the royals behind their back. -She stabbed him and his entrails hung out. - She shouted “I have killed the anti-Christ!” After several operations, he survived.

SIDENOTE: RASPUTIN: His murder is legend. 1 st, they served him cakes with cyanide-filled wine. He ate enough poison to kill 5 men and lived. - Conspirators then shot him. He fell and they left the body. Hours later, Rasputin got up and lunged at his attackers and attempted to strangle one.

SIDENOTE: RASPUTIN: - The other conspirators returned and fought him. After beating him with a club, they cut off his privates, bound his body in a carpet, and threw him into the Neva River. He broke out of the carpet and bonds wrapping him, but drowned.

SIDENOTE: RASPUTIN: - Three days later, Rasputin’s body: poisoned, shot 4 times, beaten and drowned, was found. The autopsy shows that he died from drowning.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION WERE THE RUSSIANS SUCCESSFUL? January 1917 – Russian troops are barely holding on.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION Russian soldiers going to war were having their land taken back by kulaks* because their families couldn’t pay the bills. *landlords LAND

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION Russia had become industrialized quickly, leading to low-paying jobs & bad working conditions. During the war, workers began to strike, led by the Bolshevik Party. STRIKES On March , 90,000 textile workers went on strike protesting the shortage of bread and fuel. By March 10, in Petrograd 200,000 strikers, including women, joined together in bread lines calling for the overthrow of the Tsar. Cossacks, the troops of the Tsar, sent to stop protesters but they refused to attack. On March 12 they shot their own commander and joined the protesters. By March 14 Moscow had fallen and on the fifteenth the Tsar abdicated and was placed under house arrest in a cottage near Moscow.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION In February 1917, half of all industrial workers in the capital city are on strike. Strike focuses on overthrowing the Tsar and ending the war. FREEDOM Sign in the picture above reads: “Down with the 10 capitalist ministers All Power to the Soviets of Workers, soldiers and peasants’ deputies. And to the socialist ministers.”
