Vladimir Lenin

Lenin overthrew the Russian Provision Government headed by Alexander Kerensky. Lenin did not overthrow the Tsar.

The PG had been put in place after Tsar Nicholas II abdicated as a result of the February Revolution of 1917. The PG was supposed to be temporary until the Russian Constituent Assembly could be convened to create a new permanent government. Lenin took advantage of the weakness and unpopularity of the PG and engineered what amounted to a military coup rather than a true revolution to overthrow the Provisional Government in what has been called the October or Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

The main reason is that the Tsar (Nicholas) had been losing control of his nation since rebellion had been brewing during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904-1905. The Russian battleship Potemkin, part of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, erupted into mutiny after receiving news of the Battle of Tsushima (Baltic Fleet wiped out) in May 1905. Bluntly put, the Tsarist government was on the verge of collapse in 1905, the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 was simply a better time for it to happen; since the Tsar had just left one war against the Japanese nine years earlier, only to find himself embroiled with another one in 1914, this time with the Germans.

Officially, Lenin ruled from about October 25, 1917 (Julian calendar) to his death on January 21, 1924. In fact after having a stroke in 1922, he was virtually incapable of governing practically throughout the entire year of 1923. He was wheelchair bound, could not speak and had lost virtually all political power within the Communist Party.

The leader of the Bolshevik's was Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky were both editors of the Iskra in Russian 1902. Lenin and Trotsky were also both Russian revolutionaries, even though they did not see eye to all on all things related to this. However, in 1904 the men reconciled their differences.

Lenin entered into the Treaty of Brest-Litovvsk when he pulled Russia out of World War 1.

There were different types of government that Lenin brought to Russia. The main ones were communist and socialist types of government. These governments were ones which were ruled by the Communist Party.

Prince Georgy Lvov assumed power after the March, actually called the February Revolution, in Russia. The result of this revolution was that the Tsar of Russia abdicated the throne and the Provisional Government with Lvov as Prime Minister was set up to maintain order until the Constituent Assembly could be seated.

About 3 months after Lvov took over, he resigned and Alexander Kerensky became the leader. In the October Revolution he and the Provisional Government were overthrown by Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik followers. Lenin did not take power after the February Revolution.

Lenin's 3 word promise was "Peace! Bread! Land!"

Vladimir Lenin was a great Communist revolutionary and the first leader of the Soviet Union. He died in 1924.
Vladimir Illych Lenin. He lead the Bolsheviks to power through the civil war in 1917. He made peace with the Central Powers and began to reform his country, Russia, now called the USSR (although it has since been changed again). He died in 1924. In short a tyrant
Not what, who. He was the leader of the Bolshevik party, which eventually became the communist government of Russia, in short. He ruled Russia (then the USSR) until his death of natural causes from a series of three strokes beginning in 1922. He was a wanted criminal under the previous tsarist rule, as he spread new ideas of a govenment with no monarchy.

There was no March Revolution, per se, in Russia. There was the February Revolution and there was the October Revolution. The difference lies in the fact that February on the Julian calendar is the same a March on the Gregorian calendar. Most historians refer to it as the February Revolution, just as they refer only to he October Revolution.

Primarily, the February Revolution ended with Nickolas II abdicating the throne and Imperial parliament ( the Duma) taking control of the government by establishing the Russian Provisional Government.

The October Revolution ended with the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the workers' Soviets, overthrowing the Provisional Government. Lenin was named Chairman of the Peoples Commisars of the RFSFR on November 8, 1917.

Two wars set the stage for the Russian Revolutions of 1917. The first was the Russo-Japanese War in which Russia suffered a humiliating defeat. Soldiers were very dissatisfied with the Tsar's mishandling of the war and indifference to their living conditions. The second war, which directly led to the revolution was World War 1.

In a sense. He formed the type of communism known as Leninism, which can be considered a true form of communism.

Lenin was not a true communist in the sense that the system he imposed in Russia was not communist at all. It was a mix of socialism and capitalism. In addition, he later imposed what was called "war communism" during the civil war and even that was not true communism. Later he imposed his New Economic Policy which permitted small businesses and peasant farms to be operated for personal profit subject to taxation, just as if those businesses and farms were capitalistic. He might have had hopes that a true Marxian communist society would come about, but he was just as oppressive as the Tsars before him were just so that he could keep control over the country.

no one was allowed to own land

No one led the revolution against the Tsar in 1917. The February Revolution that resulted in the overthrow of the Tsar was a spontaneous demonstration against the Tsar by peasants, workers and soldiers in Petrograd. They were demonstrating against food shortages, unfair land ownership and Russia's involvement in World War 1. The demonstrations got out of hand, spread to other cities and could not be put down by the Tsar. He was convinced by his ministers that the only way to stop the rioting was to step down, so he did.

This question can reference any number of communists revolutions and overthrows of power. The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution involved the seizing of power and elimination of the Romanov Dynasty. Another example was South Vietnam which taken by Northern communist forces through years of guerrilla and direct warfare against the them and the United States.

Lenin went to the Simbirsk Gymnasium and to Kazan University. He was expelled from the university for revolutionary activities.

Prince Georgy L'vov (4 months) and Alexander Kerensky (4 months).

The first head of the Russian Provisional Government was Prince Georgy L'vov. He took office on March 2, 1917 and resigned on July 9, 1917. He was replaced by Alexander Kerensky who served from July 9, 1917 to October 25, 1917, when the Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government.

Stalin instituted the Five-Year Plans in order to quickly generate capital for, and ensure the Soviet Unionâ??s economic strength in case of, another World War. One of Stalinâ??s signature moves was to reinstate state control of the farming system which had been decentralized under Leninâ??s New Economic Policy. Stalin also wished to return the Soviet economy to the policy of Bolshevism, or a nationalized, communist economy which had been eroded under Lenin's NEP.

Lenin was not Russian,(he was part Mongol, Jew, Swede and German); lived for a large part of his life in Switzerland, was instrumental in starting the Revolution, and his real name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. Also, he wore spectacles part of the time.

The Communist party and its Police arm the N.K.V.D. The Agency had field offices in all major cities of the Union, including a very busy one in Odessa. Odessa was part of the YCCP- Ukrainian soviet socialist Republic or the (Sovietskaya Ukraine) as the locals called it. there were both pro-and anti Soviet elements in the(White) Ukraine hence the N.K.V.D. and later the international KGB had their hands full. Doies that anser your question, Comrade?
