The autocracy in Russia was effectively established by Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, in the late 15th century. He centralized power, expanded the territory, and laid the foundations for the Russian state, which paved the way for later rulers to adopt autocratic governance. This tradition was further solidified by his grandson, Ivan IV, known as Ivan the Terrible, who proclaimed himself Tsar and expanded the autocratic nature of the Russian monarchy.

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.
Russia was too big and therefore could not work with autocracy - the rule of one man
Autocracy can also be called despotism.
