Well the first one started in 1905.

The 1905 revolution lasted only a few days before Tsar Nicholas II gave in to certain demands made by the people. After that there was no further revolutionary activity.

The next one was the February Revolution of 1917, which lasted a few weeks until Tsar Nicholas II abdicated in early March 1917. After that, there was no revolutionary activity aside from constant political agitation by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks and other radical revolutionary groups. The Provisional Government tried to maintain control, but it was too conservative to stay in power very long.

The third one, the October Revolution, lasted several days until the Bolsheviks took control of transportation and communication services as well as government offices in Petrograd. It took longer to seize control of the government in Moscow. In any event it did not last very long.

The Russian Civil War broke out shortly after that in 1918 and lasted until 1920, but that is not considered "the Russian Revolution" per se.
