The March Revolution forced the czar to abdicate the throne and put a democratic Provisional Government that was planned to rule until something permanent could be put into place. The Bolshevik Revolution was the takeover of the Provisional Government by the Bolshevik minority in Petrograd Soviet. The Bolsheviks created a communist regime and renamed the country and the territories under its control the Soviet Union.
The word "soviet" means "council". Prior to the February Revolution as the workers, soldiers and peasants grew more and more dissatisfied with the operation of the government, groups of Russian citizens organized themselves in the form of councils in Petrograd, Moscow and many other Russian cities. They were created to make known the the Tsar and his ministers the various complaints the people had. At the time of the Revolution, these councils became politically powerful in that they represented the people of Russia and were strong enough to rouse the populace against the government; therefore they were a force to be reckoned with even though they were not official bodies. Ironically, after the February Revolution, the formal government, the Provisional Government understood that the soviets had real power. The PG had an understanding with the Petrograd Soviet that it would not take actions without the knowledge if not the consent of the Petrograd Soviet. In essence, the Provisional Government had responsibility but no real power; whereas the Soviets had power but no real responsibility.
Soviet of Nationalities was created in 1938.
