Answer 1

ANSWER:

The four key demands of the Russian revolutionaries prior to the revolution were to bring peace in Russia, allotment of land to tillers or cultivators, control of industry by its workers, and equal status and prominence for all non-Russian nationalities.

EXPLANATION:  

    The first crucial demand was to maintain peace and order in the nation, since the Russian people opposed the war, and subsequent to the fall of Czar, Russia retreated from the war. Second, the revolutionaries were of the view that agricultural lands must be allotted to cultivators. Prior to the 1917 revolution, the peasants (farmers) in Russia were living a horrible life. Third, there was the demand by workers to control industries by themselves.

     Since in Russia, the capitalists greatly oppressed the workers, and due to this, the condition of Russian workers was appalling. Last, the revolutionaries wanted equal and alike status for all non-Russian nationalities. Post the revolution, a declaration of the people was published by the new govt. bestowing the right of self-determination upon all the nationalities.
