Before the Russian Revolution, they were seperated into three governments. One government was run by Czar Nicholas two. Under Czar's rule, Russia got involved in world war one. Many Russian soliders lost their life in that war. Also they were in starvation because they didnt have much food. Another government was a provisional government it was basically like a temporary government. The provisional government couldn't get them out of world war one. There was a russian revolution because of "mini revolutions" in Feburary 1917. Another Russian Revolution was in October in the year 1917. In feburary 1917, Czar was removed from power and was no longer in power. Thats when the provisional government was put in place. Since Czar was not in power anymore, they needed someone to keep Russia in place.
The revolution that took place in October was also called the Bolshevik Revolution. This revolution turned the provisional government into the Soviet Union. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik group. They turned Russia into a communist country because they believed in the teaching of Karl Marx. The Bolshevik knew that they wouldnt be able to be kept in power if they stayed in the democratic state that they were in, so they announced that they were turning into a dicatorship. This sparked the Russian Revolution of October.
