Although there was popular support for it, the overthrow of the Russian Provisional Government was a Coup d'Etat. This is because it was done by a specific group of people, the Bolsheviks, who took control of various military, communications and transportation facilities to paralyze the existing government and take it over. The October Revolution lasted two days. Revolution & Democracy to not sit well together. The idea of devolving power to the people is mythical and unachievable. Both Communism & Democracy are ideal states, beyond the ability of humans to establish. Ooooh, now there's a concept to chew on !

The enlightened rulers tried to seek to implement the elements to the extent that they did not have to get rid of themselves and give the power to the people because if they did this then a revolution would occur like the french revolution and later on the Russian revolution.
