What was the role of the intellectual middle class during the Russian revolution?

The intellectual middle class were the ones who read Marx and other philosophical works and came to the conclusion that the monarchy in Russia was not responsive to the needs of the people and that revolution was necessary to rid the country of the czar. Not all of the intelligentsia were Marxist. Some were for a democratic republic. Some were for constitutional monarch, just without Nicholas II. Some were for anarchy, meaning no government to bother them. The intelligentsia began the thinking that the czar was just another despot and could be overthrown.

How did the Tsarist regime survive the 1905 Russian Revolution?

Tsar Nicholas II survived the 1905 revolution by creating a democratically elected house of parliament called the Duma and by issuing the October Manifesto, which promised greater individual freedoms to the people of Russia. He soon reneged on most promises; however, the Russians did not revolt at the Tsar's failure to follow through on his promises until 1917.

What is the character of Boxer in Animal Farm?

Boxer epitomizes all of the best qualities of the exploited working classes: dedication, loyalty, and a huge capacity for labor. Exploited by the pigs as much or more than he had been by Mr. Jones, Boxer represents all of the invisible labor that undergirds the political drama being carried out by the elites. Boxer's pitiful death at a glue factory dramatically illustrates the extent of the pigs' betrayal. It may also, however, speak to the specific significance of Boxer himself: before being carted off, he serves as the force that holds Animal Farm together.

Boxer fights bravely in the Battle of the Cowshed, and the Battle of the Windmill, but is upset when he thinks he has killed a stable lad when, in fact, he had only stunned him. When Boxer defends Snowball's reputation from Squealer's revisionism, the pigs designate the workhorse as a target for the Great Purge, but he easily out muscles the dog executioners, sparing them at Napoleon's request. His death shows how far the pigs are willing to go. When he collapses from overwork, the pigs say they have sent him to a veterinarian, when they sent him to the knacker's yard to be slaughtered, in exchange for money to buy a case of whiskey for the pigs. A strong and loyal draft horse, Boxer played a huge part in keeping the Farm together prior to his death, and was the only close friend of Benjamin, the cynical donkey.

What role did the red army have in the Russian civil war?

At war's start, the Red Army comprised 299 infantry regiments. Civil warfare intensified after lennin dissolved the Russian consistuent Assembly (5-6 January 1918) and the Soviet government signed the Treaty of brest-Litovsk (3 March 1918) removing Russia from the Great war. Free from international war, the Red Army confronted an internecine war with a loose alliance of anti-Communist forces, comprising the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine, the "Black Army" led by Nestor Makhno, the anti-White and anti-Red Green armies, and others. The 23 February 1923 "Red Army Day" has a twofold, historical significance; the first day of drafting recruits (in Petrograd and Moscow) and the first day of combat against the occupying Imperial German Army.

Who won the Russian Civil War?

The "Reds" which is the Russians won the Russian Civil War.
The Russian Civil War was to tear Russia apart for three years - between 1918 and 1921. The civil war occurred because after November 1917, many groups had formed that opposed Lenin's Bolsheviks. These groups included monarchists, militarists, and, for a short time, foreign nations. Collectively, they were known as the Whites while the Bolsheviks were known as the Reds.
The war against the monarchy (tsar or czar) was won by a coalition of Bolsheviks and Menschiviks. A democratic government was formed, however under the leadership of Vladamir Lenin, the Bolsheviks ultimately won out.

Did the changes of the Russian Revolution resolve the problems that led to the Revolution?

No, not really.

The most pressing and immediate causes for the Revolution were involvement in World War 1, unequal distribution of land and shortages of food in the cities. After the March Revolution the conservative Provisional Government took over. It continued to fight in the war, did nothing to redistribute land and was unable to increase agricultural output. The people of Russia were no better of than they had been under the Tsar.

After the October Revolution, Lenin's government continued the war effort because Germany wanted too many concessions; failed to redistribute land to the peasants, because Lenin kept the land in the hands of the government; and failed to cure the food shortages because his "war communism" policy made peasant farmers hoard, destroy or not grow their crops.

Why was Joseph Stalin named leader?

Joseph Stalin was not named leader, Lenin named him one of a group of rulers of the USSR. Past that, he gained his power over the Soviet Union through A Divide and Conquer strategy. If that strategy failed, he used his position as the Secretary of the Communist Party to weed out dissenters that did not always agree with Stalin's methods. His power in the Politburo was staggering. He filled all vacancies with people he trusted and others were either tried for treason or in some cases they "vanished" as Stalin had them liquidated.

Lenin's premature death in 1924, enabled Stalin to solidify his power. Also, true Marxists, such as Trotsky were pushed out of the Party and were exiled and later murdered.
