Russia came into the 20th century as an extremely oppressed country that the Czars ruled. Russia, making it a feudal dictatorship. The people of Russia were horribly oppressed, poor, starving, cold, and without any real direction or hope. The 1917 Russian Revolution (originally a revolution for democracy) was not, as many people believe, a well organized event in which Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown and shortly after Lenin and the Bolsheviks took power. It was a series of events that took place during 1917 that entailed two separate revolutions in February and October, and which eventually plunged the country into Civil War before leading to the founding of the Communist State. Essentially, Russia had never undergone the liberal revolutions that took place in Europe, which had established liberal democracy and capitalism there. Russia remained as one of the last vestiges of Medieval European society.
The first major event of the Russian Revolution was the February Revolution--a chaotic affair and the culmination of over a century of civil and military unrest. The causes of this unrest of the common people toward the Tsar and aristocratic landowners are too vast and complicated to summarize, but the most important factors to consider were ongoing resentment at the cruel treatment of peasants by patricians, poor working conditions experienced by city workers in the fledgling industrial economy, and a growing sense of political and social awareness of the lower orders in general. Dissatisfaction of the proletarian lot was further compounded by food shortages and military failures. In 1905, Russia experienced humiliating losses in the Russo-Japanese war; and during a demonstration against the war in the same year, Tsarist troops fired upon an unarmed crowd, further isolating Nicholas II from his people. Widespread strikes, riots and the famous mutiny on the Battleship Potemkin ensued.
In many ways, Russia's disastrous participation in World War I was the final blow to Tsarist rule. In the very first engagement with the Germans--the Battle of Tannenberg--the Russian army suffered 120,000 casualties to Germany's 20,000. In the autumn of 1915, Russia was sending conscripts and untrained troops to the front, with little or no equipment and fighting in an almost continual retreat. In 1916, morale reached an all time low as the pressure of waging the war fell hardest on proletarian families, whose sons were being slaughtered at the front and who severe suffered food and fuel shortages at home. As a result, the Tsar and the Imperial regime took the blame as civil unrest heated up to boiling point.
