The Russian Revolution is a        political, social and   economic   movement   that broke out in 1917 in   the   Russian   Empire. This episode, due      to    the    momentous consequences   derived      from      it,      is considered one of the greatest    events 

of contemporary times.

The consequence was the collapse of the "dynasty   of the     Tsars",    heirs   of     the 

Roman    emperors,     which     meant     the abolition of the absolutist and  despotic system that had prevailed until then. The revolution brought with it as a result,  a communist-style   government     led     by Vladimir Lenin.

The consequences that motivated the Russian Revolution were:

1. Russia was at war with Germany it was the First World War, then   called   "the Great War". The constant defeats    that the Russian armies were suffering        in 

the war and the numerous     casualties, 

led to the discredit of   the   Romanovs "the      last       Tsarist      dynasty",    with 

Nicholas II at the head.

2. Russia    was      suffering       an        acute economic crisis, with a shortage of food for the population, which     suffered      a terrible famine, it was an eminently rural and backward   country.        The       social organization of Russia was based on    the most absolute inequality, distinguishing two well-defined    social     classes,    the nobility and the common people, almost all peasants. There was practically       no middle class.

The February and October revolutions, which actually occurred in March  and    November, since Russia was      governed     by     the    Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian,   just    like the rest of the world.

The one in February began with a spontaneous strike by workers at the capital's factory.   The following days, strikes   and   demonstrations were generalized throughout Petrogado and the    tension    was     increasing      and          the demonstrations were increasingly         massive.

After a while, freedom of the press     and assembly were    decreed,    and    political exiles were allowed to enter,   including the entry of the revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, who lived in exile.
