| | Russian Revolution of 1917 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | On November 7, 1917, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin led his leftist revolutionaries in a nearly bloodless revolt against the ineffective Provisional Government (Russia was still using the Julian Calendar at the time, so period references show an October 25 date). | | | As this discontent and utter hate of Nicholas grew, the State Duma issued a warning to Nicholas in November 1916 stating that disaster would overtake the country unless a constitutional form of government was put in place. | | | The driving force behind the provisional government was a young and popular lawyer named Alexsander Kerensky. |

| | When Nicholas II himself became tsar in 1894, he used similarly severe measures to subdue resistance movements, which were becoming bolder and more widespread every year. | | | The new government, led by Vladimir Lenin, would solidify its power only after three years of civil war, which ended in 1920. | | | Whatever history’s judgment of him, few other Russian revolutionaries possessed Lenin’s decisiveness and strength of vision for Russia’s future. |

| | A state of war brings, even in highly democratized nations, for the period of its duration, a certain curtailment of democratic rights. | | | And this explains, too, the fact that the climax of the rule of democratic forces in France, coincided with the climax of political persecution and political death sentences. | | | The war was in the main a war to defend the revolution from the threatening attacks of European monarchs. |

| | Even so, the Bolsheviks remained a minority party: at the First All-Russian Congress of Soviets in the early summer of 1917, the Bolsheviks won 105 delegates, far less than their 285 seats won by the Social Revolutionaries and the 248 held by the Mensheviks. | | | The March revolution forced the Czar to abdicate, established freedom of the press, and granted a blanket amnesty to political prisoners in Siberia - including terrorists. | | | Lenin and most of his associates either lived in foreign exile in neutral countries, or languished in the Czar's Siberian prisons. |
