Best Answer

The 1917 Russian Revolution was made up of the February Revolution, in which Czar Nicholas II was deposed and the Czarist regime overthrown, and the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government, took power in their own name and eventually changed their name to Communists. There was also a revolution in 1905, which accomplished little more than establishment of the Russian Duma, a weak parliamentary style governing body. Czar Nicholas retained most power in government.
