Russian Revolution

Thousands of workers and soldiers stormed the under-guarded palace. ile in western Europe, Lenin hoped to increase the revolutionary chaos and remove Russia from World War One. This call ,and new power of Lenin and his followers the Bolsheviks, was so effective that in June, two months after his arrival men were leaving their posts in the front lines of battle. Due to the act of the old Duma or parliament, many things were passed or re-enacted. Establishing a parliament called the Duma, the Czar hoped this would be enough for the Russian people to stop acting against his way of government. About to enter a civil war, Lenin sent his troops to close the constituent assembly.

Russians upset and discontent with the way of the present czarist government, and also facing many defeats in World War One, form riots and are rebelling.

In September, military leader Kerensky lost his authority when other military leaders or generals formed a coup.

After Lenin gained power, Lenin made a mistake by letting previously scheduled elections to still take place. This would later emerge into a Lenist and Stalinist tyranny. After a number of actions or revolts in an attempt to revolutionize, Czar Nicholas II granted the people of Russia a small say in the government. " Ten days that shook the world " is how these events were described by an Americian journalist named John Reed. In the November 1917 polls, the Bolshevik candidates hold just under 25 percent of the vote meanwhile moderate socialists raked in more than 40 percent of the total count. When Lenin arrived in Russia, he immediatly called for the end of the war.
