Why was the first Revolution in Russia followed so soon by a second one? Actually the February Revolution in 1917 had been a collapse of tsardom from within rather than an overthrow from outside. The war, intensifying all the problems from which Russia had traditionally suffered, had played an important role for the fall of the traditional regime. But the decisive reason was that unlike to 1905 revolution, the leadership elite was on the people´s side, …showed first 75 words of 1249 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1249 total…collapse of the romanov dynasty was one of the most leaderless, spontaneous, anonymous revolutions of all time". Anyway, the Provisional Government was too weak to cope with the burden of problems Nicolas the second had left: War, peasants hungry for land, national minorities hungry for independence and a deteriorating economic situation. It did not even have a real military force, and in October 1917, it was like an open door for the well-organised and powerful Bolsheviks.
