Causes of Russian Revolutions
• Russia was defeated in war with Japan in 1905• Bloody Sunday 1905• Angry peasants (no land or food)• Incompetent leader- Czar Nicolas II• Military defeats and high casualties in World War I
Russia entered World War I as an absolute monarchy with a great divide between classes. The grievances of workers and peasants were not resolved by the Czar. This led to revolution…
Who were the Bolsheviks?• Means "majority" in Russian• Became the communist party in Russia• Promised to improve working conditions• The Bolsheviks financed their work by party supported
robberies –referred to as “regrettable necessities”. Only individuals or institutions carrying state funds were targeted.
• Leader of Bolsheviks = V.I. Lenin.
“We cannot be guided by the mood of the masses; that is changeable and unaccountable. The masses have
given their confidence to the Bolsheviks and ask from them not words but deeds.” (Lenin)
V.I. Lenin• Sent into exile during 1st
Russian Revolution• Brought back to Russia by the
German government• Led “Reds” in the civil war
against the “Whites”• 1918 Russian Empire collapsed • Lenin = 1st premier of the new
Soviet Union in 1922
