Question

Why did people in central asia responds to the russian revolution in different ways?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The people in Central Asia responded enthusiastically to the February 1917 Revolution because it freed them from the oppression of the Tsar’s reign and they became masters of their land again. They expected to regain their autonomy.

However, they responded negatively to the October Revolution, as it brought violence, robbery, extra taxes and another dictatorial power to rule over them. They feared now that their autonomy would be lost.
