the Bolsheviks Vladimir Lenin In 1917 several people rose to power because there were two separate revolutions in that year. In the February Revolution, the the rule of the Tsars came to an end. A Provisional Government headed by Prince Georgy Lvov then came into power. Some months later Alexander Kerensky came into power taking over the Provisional Government when "Lvov resigned. In the October Revolution, Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Party rose to power when they overthrew the Provisional Government.
the enormous land mass of Russia in the 18th century restricted the effectiveness of the Russian monarchy because it decentralized the government. It was extremely hard to rule such a large area without woes!
When they were sold to Canada the Red River Colony did not have a government with which to carry on negotiations with those wanting to rule them. Riel was one of many who stood up and helped set up a provisional government to represent the locals.
The Provisional Government was set up after the February Revolution in 1917 when the czar was forced to abdicate. It was meant to rule Russia until a permanent government could be organized. Of course, they fixed none of things that made the population rebel in the first place and were overthrown in the October or Bolshevik Revolution.Historically, the two revolutions are referred to as the February Revolution and the October Revolution because they occurred in Russia and those were the months in which they occurred there. Academically, events that occurred within Russia under the old calendar are dated according to the calendar in place in Russia at that time, but given the explanation "Old Style". After an old style date was written there would be the date for the rest of the world with the words "New Style." Thus:"Within Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution started on October 25, 1917 (Old Style, November 7, 1917 New Style)."
A government that is formed temporarily until a permanent one is created
The main cause of the Russian Civil War was the previous Russian Revolution. The Russian Revolution was caused by poor treatment of the peasants and factory workers under the rule of Tsar Nicholas II. These poor conditions created two revolutions, one in February and one in October, named after their respective months. When the new government, called the Provisional government, threw out democratic rule and opted for a dictatorship of the proletariot, the Russian Civil War ensued.
The "Provisional Government" replaced Tsarist rule after the February 1917 Russian Revolution. This governmental body claimed it had the only legitimate authority in Russia once the Tsar abdicated, because many of its members had been members of the Duma, the Russian form of Parliament under the Tsar. The Provisional Government proved to be as useless and unpopular as the Tsar it had replaced and was itself removed by Lenin and his Bolsheviks several months later in the October Revolution of 1917. The Bolsheviks were not much better at governing, but they were better at maintaining power by the use of force and terror.
There were two revolutions in 1917. The February Revolution ended the rule of the Tsars with the establishment of the Russian Provisional Government. The second revolution, the October Revolution , established Bolshevik/Communist rule in Russia. At first Russia became known as the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic, which later became the Soviet Union (USSR).

something happened and it made Russia's economy bad In early 1917, the Russian population was unhappy with the monarchy that had ruled Russia for centuries. A series of strikes and riots led to a revolution. A "Provisional Government" was instated to rule of the nation until a new on could be formed. In October 1917, the Bolsheviks (A radical left wing party led by Vladimir Lenin) overthrew the Provisional Government and instated a socialist government. One of their first actions was to pull out of WW1.
Vladimir Illich Ulyanov, later known as Lenin, after Nicholas II was forced to abdicate the Bolsheviks executed him and his family, and Bolshevik leader Lenin took control. Lenin was a Russian Marxist revolutionary and communist politician. Clarifying information: Actually, the Russian Provisional Government first under Prince Georgy Lvov and then under Alexander Kerensky replaced Tsar Nicholas II. Lenin staged the second Russian Revolution about 8 months later and replaced the Provisional Government. He did not replace the Tsar. Vladimir I. Ulyanov was known as Lenin since 1901, not after the revolution.
The March Revolution forced the czar to abdicate the throne and put a democratic Provisional Government that was planned to rule until something permanent could be put into place. The Bolshevik Revolution was the takeover of the Provisional Government by the Bolshevik minority in Petrograd Soviet. The Bolsheviks created a communist regime and renamed the country and the territories under its control the Soviet Union.
authoritarian or autocratic rule
The February Revolution of 1917 is the revolution that ended the rule of the Tsars. The October Revolution staged by Lenin and the Bolsheviks ended the rule of the Provisional Government rather than that of the Tsars.
No, they were not. The czar was toppled in the February Revolution of 1917 when the army and police refused to obey his orders to quell rioting and demonstrations against his rule were going on in Petrograd, Moscow and other cities. An interim government called the Provisional Government was created to govern until a Constitutional Assembly could be elected to make a new constitution. The "communists" (at that time still named Bolsheviks) toppled the Provisional Government in the October Revolution of 1917. By this time, the czar had already been defeated and was no longer in power. So, to be precise, the czar was not defeated by the communists.
Alexander Kerensky was head of the Russian Provisional Government and leader of Russia before the Communist Revolution in October 1917. Tsar Nicholas II had bee leader of Russia but he had already abdicated as a result of the February Revolution.
