International Women's Day, 1917, in St. Petersburg/Petrograd, Russia, marked the start of the Russian Revolution. The dates were March 8th to the 12th on the Gregorian calendar. This is the current common calendar.

In Russia at the time, the Romanov dynasty had never implemented the change to the Gregorian calendar from the Julian calendar, as most all other countries had already done. There is a discrepancy between the two systems, which at the time caused the Julian calendar to be 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar.

This being the case the event became known as the February, rather than the March Revolution.
