The Russian Revolution took place in what two phases?

The two phases were the February Revolution of 1917 and the October (or Bolshevik) Revolution of 1917. The February Revolution resulted in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the installation of the Provisional Government (PG). The PG was to operate the government until such time as a Constituent Assembly could be elected, convene and put together a constitutional democratic permanent government. The October Revolution occurred on October 25, 1917 (Julian calendar date) and resulted in the military overthrow of the PG by Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik Party followers. The Russian Revolution was complete except for the fact that the Bolshevik grab for power was not fully supported by all of the country and the Russian Civil War broke out. By 1920, the Bolsheviks, now called Communists, had overcome the opposing side in the Civil War and became the sole ruling authority in the country.

What leader was killed as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution?

Czar Nicholas the Second was killed as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution. The Czar had abdicated his throne as a result of the February Revolution in 1917; however he and his family were kept alive for over a year. The intent of the Provisional Government was to send him to England. After the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, the Czar came under the control of the Bolsheviks. Since the Bolsheviks were not universally accepted as the new power in Russia, the Russian Civil War broke out. In July 1918, the Bolsheviks realized that the Czar and his family had to be killed in order to stamp out any hope by the other side in the Civil War of restoring the Czar to the throne and reversing the gains from the two revolutions.
