Question

what are the positive and negative impacts of Russian revolution?

Answer 1

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a major historical event of the 20th century and was also a major revolution. The Russian Revolution widely spread Karl Marx’s economic idea of communism. As we know now, communism has not worked out in history but in the 1900’s it was a very popular idea. The Russian Revolution had many outcomes that were good and bad.

Positive:
            The Russian Revolution of 1917 had many negative outcomes, but it also had some positive outcomes. One positive outcome is that the czarist rule comes to an end and gives say to the workers and peasants. This is also a negative effect because communism replaces czarist rule. After the revolution, Lenin created free education throughout Russia. Children learned communist ideas but they were still educated about the world. Another positive effect was that Lenin made the eight-hour working day, which greatly improved working conditions.

Negative:
            As you can see, the Russian Revolution had many positive effects on Russia, but it also had many negative effects on the world. One negative effect was the spread of communism around the world that was the reason for World War II. Another negative effect was that 15 million people die after the Bolsheviks and anti-Bolsheviks sweep Russia. After the revolution, people’s freedom was lost and people couldn’t read, write, or say whatever they want. People were also not allowed to celebrate religion as religious leaders were murdered and churches were destroyed.
