No, it wasn't, because a true Marxist Revolution would have been where a proletariat of workers in an industrialized country seized the means of production from their owners, establish a socialist system then create a government to keep it that way. In Russia at that time there was no true Marxian proletariat because Russia was not industrialized. The March Revolution began by peasants and workers demonstrating against the Tsarist government, causing it to topple then simply imposing another government (the Provisional Government) in place of the Tsar's. No means of production were seized; no workers became empowered and the means of production remained in the hands of their owners. That is not what Marx had in mind.
