Russian Revolutionary Movements

Russian Revolutionary Movements were significant political upheavals in the early 20th century, primarily seeking to end imperial rule and establish a more equitable society. The most notable events are the February Revolution of 1917, which led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, and the October Revolution of the same year, where the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the provisional government. These movements aimed to address social inequalities and set the stage for the formation of the Soviet Union, a state that promoted communist ideology, profoundly influencing global politics throughout the 20th century.
