On Sunday, 25 February, the government suspended the Duma. Politicians spoke out against the measure. Demonstrators returned in force to the streets of the left bank on the 26th.On the 27th, the Police Headquarters were ransacked. The streets thronged with people raising slogans about bread,wages,better hours and democracy. The government tried to control the situation and called out the cavalry. However, the cavalry refused to fire on the demonstrators. An officer was shot at the barracks of a regiment and three other regiments mutinied,voting to join the striking workers. By that evening,soldiers and striking workers had gathered to form a 'soviet' or 'council' in the same building as the Duma met. This was the Petrograd soviet.

The very next day, a delegation went to see the Tsar. Military commanders advised him to abdicate. He followed their advice and abdicated on 2 March.

Why russia ready to revolt?

Judging from your question, I assume you mean the 1917 October revolution. If so, Russia was on the brink of total revolution because of the unfair treatment of the workers and peasants by the Tsarist Autocracy. The Tsars had full power and there were no laws or codes that even slightly hindered their power. This was intensified when Russia lost the Russo-Japanese war of 1905, and finally culminated into the October Revolution, which overthrew the Autocracy and ushered the Bolsheviks into power.
