The russian revolution resulted in russia what?

Answer 1

The Russian revolution in 1905 caused terrorism, worker strikes, and mutinies. After the successful revolution the Russian Empire limited the powers that Monarchs had and established the Russian Constitution of 1906.

The Russian Constitution of 1906 did not curtail the powers of the monarchy. In fact it expressly provided that Russia was committed to the autocratic rule of the Tsars, that the Tsar was the Supreme Emperor and that no laws could be made unless he approved of them. In this manner, the Constitution became the law of the land for everyone to obey but the Tsar himself.

After the 1905 Russian Revolution happened, the Tsar permitted a democratically elected parliamentary body called the Duma to be created. This never became a true legislative body making laws that even the Tsar had to obey (unless he wished to). Shortly after the 1905 Revolution, all the reforms became so much window dressing and life in Russia was soon back to its former autocratic self.

There were three "Russian Revolutions." The one in 1905 and the two in 1917, referred to as the February Revolution and the October Revolution. The October Revolution is the one most commonly thought of as the "Russian Revolution, since it was the last of the three and entrenched the Communists in power until 1991 when the Soviet Union broke up.

After the February Revolution, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the throne ending over 300 years of Romanov dynasty rule. A Provisional Government was then formed to carry on government and military functions in the place of the Tsar until the Constituent Assembly could be elected to meet, enact a true constitution and create a new democratic government. Not much changed for the people of Russia since the Provisional Government was composed of people who had more interest in retaining a conservative rather than a revolutionary government.

After the October Revolution (also called the Bolshevik or Communist Revolution), the Provisional Government was overthrown and Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik supporters seized control of the government. Although Lenin and the Bolsheviks had promised more freedoms for all, they did not deliver on their promises (other than to end World War I). In order to stay in power, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were more repressive of dissent than the Tsarist regime had been.

The next thing that happened after this Russian Revolution was the Russian Civil War. Although virtually all Russians wanted a revolution to get rid of the Tsar, very few wanted the Bolsheviks to take over, especially after they showed how ruthless they could be in holding onto power for themselves even though they were a minority political party. The Russian Civil War was an attempt by forces opposing the Bolshevik seizure of power to the exclusion of other socialist revolutionary parties to then overthrow the Bolsheviks.

It was during the Civil War, in July 1918, that the Bolsheviks finally murdered former Tsar Nicholas II and his family.
