The First World War was over and Russia was still trying to recover from its effects. In February 1917, workers from 50 factories on the right bank of Neva called a strike. The government called in troops and suspended the Duma.

The striking workers and the soldiers formed the Petrograd Soviet and The Tsar was forced to abdicate. The February revolution saw the fall of the monarchy.

After the fall of monarchy a Provincial Government was formed in Russia. Lenin returned from his exile and propagated three points from April thesis i.e. bringing the war to an end, transferring land to the peasants and the nationalization of banks.

The provincial government, headed by Kerenskiii, saw Lenin as a threat and started arresting the Bolsheviks and resisting the spread of their ideas.

Lenin feared Kerinskii’s dictatorship and convinced the Bolsheviks to stage an uprising. He appointed a Military Revolutionary Committee under Leon Trotskii. In October 1917, the Bolsheviks, with the help of Leon Trotskii, seized power from the provincial government.

October 1917, saw the fall of the monarchy, the rise and fall of the Kerenskii government and finally the rise of the Lenin and the Bolsheviks.ok

i. The February Revolution 1917 was set off by a set of incidents.

ii. The country including capital city of Petrograd was facing prospects of starvation.

iii. Added to this were long bread queues and severe winter.

iv. Spate of strikes took the form of general strike.

v. Women workers played a leading part in these strikes.

Strikers demanded bread, better wages, shorter hours of work and democracy. Many regiments of the army joined the striking workers.

Freed political prisoners arrested the Tsar's ministers and generals.

By evening Petrograd had passed into the hands of insurgent workers and generals. The Tsar was forced to abdicate in favour of a Provisional Government of Soviet and Duma leaders.

The February Revolution marked the end of monarchy in Russia.

Power passed into the hands of the provisional government-the Mensheviks under Alexander Kerensky. But the Revolution failed to fulfill the demands of the revolutionaries which were: (i) Peace (ii) Land to the tiller (iii) Equal status to non-Russian nationalities (iv) and Nationalisation of banks and industry.

In the February Revolution, the Mensheviks led by Alexander Kerensky were supported by the Bolsheviks, politicians, factory workers and the army. The February Revolution marked the end of monarchy in Russia.
