The Romanovs

The Romanov dynasty, ruled Russia from 1613 to 1917. The first Romanov tsar was Michael Romanov. Michael inherited the crown after the "time of troubles" by an assembly of officials representing every city and town in all of Russia. History would make famous the last Tsar; Nicholas II. Nicholas along with his wife and children were murdered by the Bolsheviks on July 17 1918 in Ekaterinburg located in the Russian Ural region. The Last Tsar was actually not Nicholas the II, but his brother Michael. Michael refused the crown after Nicholas II abdicated as sovereign and also on behalf of his son, Alexis. The three hundred year old house of Romanov began with a Michael and so it ended with a Michael.

Lenin and Trotsky were the two leaders of the Bolshevik political party which took power after the Russia Revolution of 1917. Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown during the Russia Revolution of 1917, also known as the Bolshevik revolution.

It was one of the most powerful nations, but lacked economy and was actually a century behind the other European nations. Russia was about to enter WW I which costed it even more money. To show how behind Russia was at this time, some battalions had to use muskets. Oh..and for some of the other questions that were on here...The capital of the Russian empire was Petrograd, the farthest east russia expanded was actually far west, they took over Alaska and owned it until the U.S. bought it in 1867. And the last scribe family of the Russian Court was the Bartkovicz family. it was pronounced biertkovich i think. and the Russian empire was big enough to put over 3 united states in it.

Alexei was Czar Nicholas' youngest child and only son. Unfortunately for the succession of the throne, Alexei was a hemophilliac, meaning his blood barely clotted. A paper cut that's just annoying for the average person could have put Alexei in a hospital ICU. His illness is what brought Grigorii Rasputin, who claimed he was a healer, into the royal court. Alexei was assasinated along with his family in the 1920s after the civil war.

Russian Revolution can refer to the following events in the history of Russia:

The Russian Revolution of 1905, which was a series of riots and anti-government violence against Tsar Nicholas II.

The Russian Revolution of 1917, which included the February Revolution resulting in the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia and the October Revolution, which was the Bolshevik revolt.

The Third Russian Revolution, which was the failed anarchist revolution against the Bolsheviks that started in 1918. It was suppressed along with the White Movement by 1922.

When the year is not indicated in the reference, the term "Russian Revolution", if used as a time mark, usually refers to the October Revolution of 1917, whereas references to the revolution of 1905 always mention the year and references to the February Revolution always mention the month.

He introduced the October Manifesto. (In 1905). He had to make concessions. He appeased the Liberals by creating the legislative duma (Parliment), granting freedom of speech, granting the right for political parties to exist and legalised trade unions.

The peasants were also appeased by having their mortgage repayments first reduced, and then altogether abolished.

However, Nicholas did not appease the industrial workers. He felt strong enough to resist and crush the soviets having won over the Liberals and peasants. Headquarters of the St.Petersburg soviet were stormed and the ringleaders (such as Trotsky) were arrested. Nicholas also destroyed the Moscow soviet. The soviet buildings were burnt down by government troops.

When Russia had the March Revolution it started because Russia lacked the necessary items for war against Imperial Germany. When Russia was knocked out of the war by another Austro-German assault, Russian soldiers came back and killed their officers because when they lost the war their like for their officers and the czar of Russia were disappearing

The last Tsar of Imperial Russia was Nicholas II of Russia, formerly known as Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov. On March 22 1917, he was put under house arrest and later he and his family were executed under the Bolsheviks. It was presumed a true socialist revolution would be impossible if there was any legitimate claim to the throne.

The first "official" Tsar of all Russia, Ivan IV, the last six years was seriously ill. It is assumed that the disease was the reason for his death. There is, however, the hypothesis of its etching. This is supported by the presence of arsenic in his remains mercury. However, they went into the drug and that the belt so get more exact cause of death is not yet possible.

lack of weaponry and poor leadership! The revolution also added to the problems.

They were cousins by birth and marriage.

Alexandra's mother Alice was the sister of George's father Albert Edward.

Alexandra married Tsar Nicholas II whose mother was the sister of Georges mother.

The revolution of 1917 was caused by a gradual weakening of the monarchy by Rasputin, the mystic who was caring for Nicholas II's hemophilic son, as well as growing socioeconomic and political discontent. Nicholas II was a conservative authoritarian ruler, and the people were tired of being oppressed. They were ready for a more democratic government. Also, Russia was in the midst of an economic crisis after World War I, and many of the peasants were living in cramped, poor conditions and being forced to work long hours.

The last ruling family of Russia was the family ROMANOV, of which the last Tsar is Tsar Nikolai II. The Tsar and most of his family were executed after the Decembrist Bolshevik revolution, led at least ideologically by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, though rumours abound that his youngest daughter, Anastasiya, had survived the scourge, and subsequently there have been many imposters claiming to be the last Russian princess.

300 men. These people had to be males and be wealthy and powerful men called patricians. Yet in the rule of Augustus Caesar, He made a change to that, he picked people for talent, not wealth. This gave the common people, or plebians, a right to be in the Senate...Hope this helps ;D

No communist group overthrew Czar Nicholas IV in March or in any other month in 1917. The communist group then known as the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian Provisional Government headed by Alexander Kerensky in October, 1917. Tsar Nicholas II had abdicated the throne in March 1876 as a result of the demonstrations, strikes and riots that were taking place in Petrograd and other cities. He wasn't overthrown by any group. He simply lost control of the government and abdicated the throne.

poor people could not efford things to survive

There were two revolutions in Russia in 1917. No particular group led the February Revolution. It started as a spontaneous unorganized demonstration and then general strike against the Tsarist government. Tsar Nicholas II realized he could not restore order because the military would not obey him so he abdicated the throne.

The Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin led the second revolution. This was called the October Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution.

there was a cute shortage of food and other comodiate in Russia.there was a seviuor faminin in the country. the prices shortup. The workers went on strike lawnesless preveiled every where the revolution started o 7th march every where the workers started the revolutionaries. stopped the jails.in present in many offices. because of these reasons Ts artist autocracy collapsed in 1917

They aren't revolutionaries in the true sense of the word but first Prince Georgy Lvov and then Alexander Kerensky led the Russian Provisional Government after the Tsar abdicated in March 1917.

Vladimir Lenin is the Russian revolutionary who took control of the country in October 1917 (O.S.) by ousting the Provisional Government

Lenin did not lose his power in Russia as much as he became too ill to exercise it. In 1922 he suffered a serious stroke and lost some ability to speak and write. He suffered another stroke after that and was confined completely unable to communicate and was confined to a wheelchair. In that condition he actually asked for someone to give him poison so he could die, but no one could bring himself to do that. In 1924 he suffered a massive stroke that killed him. Had Lenin not had the debilitating strokes he would have remained in power.

Russia had an autocratic government prior to the Russian Revolution, being ruled by one person, Tsar Nicholas II. It did have an elected body called the Duma, which was instituted after a small revolution in 1905 by Tsar Nicholas II, however it had virtually no power to make laws that the Tsar had to honor. It was more like an advisory body, so it cannot be said that it had a true democracy prior to the revolutions of 1917.
