Lecture 1. RUSSIAN GREAT REVOLUTION OF 1917
PART 1
The Russian Great Revolution included two revolutions in Russia in 1917 which exchanged the Tsarist regime to the Soviet Union. The Russian Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II and the old autocracy was replaced by a Provisional government during the first revolution in February 1917. In the second revolution – in October, the Provisional Government lost the power.
The February Revolution was a revolution focused around Petrograd, the capital of Russia at that time. Members of the Duma assumed control over the country, formed the Provisional Government which supported the interests of capitalists and the aristocracy. The Soviets, which were dominated by soldiers and the working class, permitted the Provisional Government to rule but insisted on an influence the government and control army. The February Revolution took place in the context of hard military catastrophes during the First World War with great loses of the Russian Army.
At the beginning of February Petrograd workers began strikes and demonstrations – workers of Putilov’s, the largest industrial plant in Petrograd, started a strike. The next day some meetings were held for International Women's Day. Demonstrations were organized to demand bread. By the end of February most industrial factories, commercial enterprises were closed. Students joined the workers in the streets and at meetings.
The Tsar relied on the army. At least 180,000 troops were in the capital, but most of them supported workers. The Tsar ordered the army to suppress the riots by force, troops began to mutiny. Governmental authority in the capital collapsed – Nicholas had dismissed the Duma. The response of the Duma established a Temporary Committee to restore law and order in the country. At the same time the socialist parties formed the Petrograd Soviet to represent workers and soldiers.

The Tsar went by the royal train back to Petrograd, which was stopped by a group of revolutionaries at the station Malaya Vishera. When the Tsar finally arrived Pskov, the Army Chief Nikolay Ruzsky, and the Duma deputies A. Guchkov and V. Shulgin suggested that the Tsar abdicates the throne. He did it on 2 March on behalf of himself and then on behalf of his son, the Tsarevich Alexey. Nicholas nominated his brother, the Grand Duke Michael to succeed him. But the Grand Duke realized that he would have little support as ruler, so he rejected the crown. Six days later Nicholas was called “Nicholas Romanov” united with his family at the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo. Royal family was placed under house arrest by the Provisional Government.
On 16 March a Provisional government was announced. The government was headed by a liberal aristocrat, Prince Georgy Lvov, a member of the Constitutional Democratic party. The socialists had formed their rival institute, the Petrograd Soviet four days before. The Petrograd Soviet and the Provisional Government divided power in Russia. From March to October the Provisional Government was reorganized four times. The subsequent governments were coalitions. But they were not able to cope adequately with the major problems of the country: lands for peasants and the collapse of army at the front.
The effective power of the Provisional Government was challenged by the authority of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' Deputies. The model for the Soviet were workers' councils that had been organized in cities during the 1905 Revolution. In February 1917, striking workers elected deputies to represent them. Petrograd Soviet united these deputies with representatives of the socialist parties. On 27 February deputies of Duma from socialist parties took the lead role in organizing a council. The Petrograd Soviet met in the same building where the new government was taking place.
The leaders of the Petrograd Soviet believed that they represented particular classes of the population. They also believed Russia was not ready for socialism, so they plan to introduce extensive democratic reforms in Russia: a republic, civil rights, a democratic police and army,

abolition of religious and so on). The members of the Provisional
Government agreed to “take into account the opinions of the Soviet of Workers' Deputies”. In fact, “dual power” (dvoevlastie) took place.
During a period of dual power the Provisional Government held state power. There were many protests and strikes. Many socialist political organizations were engaged in struggle for power. One of the most significant party were the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin. The programme of this party included an immediate end of the World war, land to the peasants, and bread to the workers. When the Provisional Government decided to continue fighting the war against Germany, the Bolsheviks and other socialist parties planned to advance the revolution further. The Bolsheviks turned workers' militias squads under their control into the Red Guards (the Red Army in the future).
A series of political crises in the relationship between population and Provisional government and the Soviets. The Soviet leadership initially refused to participate in the Provisional Government, only Alexander Kerensky, a young popular lawyer and a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SR), agreed to join the new cabinet and became a central figure in the government. As minister of war and later Prime Minister, Kerensky released thousands of political prisoners, planned to continue the war effort and even organized another offensive of the army. But Kerensky still faced several great challenges:
great military losses were being suffered on the front;
the soldiers were demoralized and had started to defect;
there was enormous discontent with Russia's involvement in the
war, and many were calling for an end of it;
– there were great problems with food and supplies under the wartime economic conditions.
The most serious political group for Kerensky was the Bolshevik Party with a leader – Vladimir Lenin. Lenin had been living in exile in neutral Switzerland and, after the democratization of politics during the February Revolution he perceived the opportunity for Marxist revolution. His return to Russia was rather difficult because of the World war.

German officials proposed Lenin to pass through their territory, hoping that his activities would weaken Russia: if the Bolsheviks came to power, they withdrew Russia from the war. Lenin and his comrades had to travel to Russia in a sealed carriage. After passing through the front, he arrived in Petrograd in April 1917.
When Lenin arrived the popularity of the Bolsheviks increased greatly. Despite growing support of the Bolsheviks, the party held little real power in the Petrograd Soviet. Foreign historians considered the policy of the Provisional Government as conservative, and the Soviet – as subservient to the government. Lenin and his followers were not prepared for real power in the summer of 1917.
On 18 June, the Provisional Government initiated an attack against Germany but it was unsuccessful. Soon the government ordered soldiers to go to the front, they refused to follow the new order. The sailors, soldiers together with Petrograd workers proclaimed: “all power to the Soviets.” The revolt was stopped by Lenin and the Bolshevik and was defeated in a few days. Lenin went to Finland under threat of arrest when Trotsky was arrested. There Lenin was working on his book State and Revolutionand newspaper articles.
The quantity of Bolsheviks was grown: in February 1917 the Bolsheviks were 24,000, by September 1917 there were 200,000. First the Bolsheviks had been in the minority than the Mensheviks and the Socialist Revolutionaries, in September the Bolsheviks became in the majority.
In August General Lavr Kornilov was appointed as a Supreme Commander of Russian military forces. He ordered troops to pacify Petrograd. To strengthen his position, Kerensky had to ask for assistance the Bolsheviks and the Petrograd Soviet. So armed Red Guards were formed to “defend the revolution”. The Kornilov Affair failed because of the efforts of the Bolsheviks, they could stop the movement of troops. Kornilov was surrendered and arrested. The Bolsheviks hardened their position after it.
In September, the Petrograd Soviet gave freedom to all jailed Bolsheviks. Trotsky became a chairman of the Petrograd Soviet.

Provisional government lost its support. The Bolsheviks became the only major organized opposition party. Lenin began to insist on the
overthrow of the Kerensky’s government. Lenin thought that taking
power should occur in St. Petersburg and Moscow at the same time. The Bolshevik Central Committee wrote down a resolution about the disintegration of the Provisional Government in favor of the Petrograd Soviet. The resolution was passed and the October Revolution began.
In the October Revolution the Bolsheviks led armed workers and soldiers in Petrograd and successfully overthrew the Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks and their allies occupied government
buildings and other strategic locations in Petrograd, and soon formed a new government with Lenin as its head. Lenin became the dictator of the world’s first Communist state. The Bolsheviks had a strong base
of support within the soviets and established a federal government reorganized the former empire into the first world socialist republic based on soviet democracy in a national scale. The promise to end of participation in the World War I, the Bolshevik leaders signed the Peace Treaty in Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March 1918. The policy of Soviets modeled on similar events during the French Revolution.
It marked the beginning of the spread of communism in the 20th century. It was less spontaneous than the February revolution. Russia used the Julian calendar at the time, so that period is known as 25 October. The October revolution ended that provisional parliamentary government was replaced by Soviet government. It became clear that the Bolsheviks had little support outside Saint Petersburg. There were anti-Bolshevik revolts in Tambov (1919–1921) and in Kronstadt (March 1921).
