RUSSIAN
REVOLUTION
Life under the Czar
• Most people in Russia
were poor peasants
called serfs who lived
on land owned by
wealthy landowners
• Students protests,
peasant revolts, and
worker strikes were
common
Life under the Czar
• The Russo-Japanese
War ended in a
humiliating defeat for
Russia and showed
that Czarist rule was
weak and
disorganized.
Life under the Czar
• World War I brought
great suffering to the
Russian people
– It brought shortages in
housing, food, and fuel
– Russian armies were
ill-equipped and were
soundly defeated – 1.7
million killed, 5
million injured.
March Revolution 1917
• Bread riots
• Soldiers sent to end the violent
protests side with the
demonstrators
• Czar Nicholas is forced to
resign (abdicate)
• Bloodless revolution
• Provisional government set up
with Kerensky in charge
• Keeps Russia in the war
Germany takes advantage
of Russian unrest
• Germany knows USA coming to
Western front; wants to get rid of
Russians on Eastern front
• Helps exiled Lenin to return

• Cost of food and other necessities
increased at a higher rate
• Bolsheviks take power
November Revolution 1917
November Revolution 1917
• Civil War breaks out – Reds vs. Whites
• Bolsheviks prevail through shear brutality –
even when out numbered.
• Vladimir Lenin leads the revolution based
upon his own interpretations of the writings
of Karl Marx
• Lenin signs Treaty of Brest-Litvosk with
Germany to get out of war
November Revolution 1917
Marxism
• Believed humanity was changing,
Industrialization was to blame. Horrified
by working conditions.
• Capitalists were getting richer than workers
creating a significant gap between the two
• Believed one of the following would
happen:
– Rich must distribute wealth
– A worker led violent revolution
Leninism
• Lenin fascinated by
industrialization,
wanted to bring that to
Russia
• Differed from Marx in
his belief that the world
wide communist
revolution had to be led
by a power elite forcing
it forward – not just the
common man.
Leninism
• Communist Party was the only
party allowed.
• The use of force and terror
through the secret police
(Cheka) was necessary and
good for the cause
• Used slogans, include “Bread,
Land, Peace and All Power to
the Soviets.”
Lenin’s Death
• Died in January 1924.
• Believed Leon Trotsky
should replace him as
leader. Trotsky had
successfully lead Red
Army against the White
Army. Had a vision of
the Soviet Union in line
with Lenin. He wanted
to focus on agriculture.
Lenin’s Death
• Lenin believed that Stalin could not handle
the power that came with leadership. Stalin
believed in the industrialization of the
nation.
• Stalin takes control, has Trotsky killed.

HISTORY YEAR 11 CAMBRIDGE IGCSE - RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

  • 2. Life under the Czar • Most people in Russia were poor peasants called serfs who lived on land owned by wealthy landowners • Students protests, peasant revolts, and worker strikes were common
  • 3. Life under the Czar • The Russo-Japanese War ended in a humiliating defeat for Russia and showed that Czarist rule was weak and disorganized.
  • 4. Life under the Czar • World War I brought great suffering to the Russian people – It brought shortages in housing, food, and fuel – Russian armies were ill-equipped and were soundly defeated – 1.7 million killed, 5 million injured.
  • 5. March Revolution 1917 • Bread riots • Soldiers sent to end the violent protests side with the demonstrators • Czar Nicholas is forced to resign (abdicate) • Bloodless revolution • Provisional government set up with Kerensky in charge • Keeps Russia in the war
  • 6. Germany takes advantage of Russian unrest • Germany knows USA coming to Western front; wants to get rid of Russians on Eastern front • Helps exiled Lenin to return
  • 7. November Revolution 1917 • Wages increased between revolutions • Cost of food and other necessities increased at a higher rate • Bolsheviks take power
  • 9. November Revolution 1917 • Civil War breaks out – Reds vs. Whites • Bolsheviks prevail through shear brutality – even when out numbered. • Vladimir Lenin leads the revolution based upon his own interpretations of the writings of Karl Marx • Lenin signs Treaty of Brest-Litvosk with Germany to get out of war
  • 11. Marxism • Believed humanity was changing, Industrialization was to blame. Horrified by working conditions. • Capitalists were getting richer than workers creating a significant gap between the two • Believed one of the following would happen: – Rich must distribute wealth – A worker led violent revolution
  • 12. Leninism • Lenin fascinated by industrialization, wanted to bring that to Russia • Differed from Marx in his belief that the world wide communist revolution had to be led by a power elite forcing it forward – not just the common man.
  • 13. Leninism • Communist Party was the only party allowed. • The use of force and terror through the secret police (Cheka) was necessary and good for the cause • Used slogans, include “Bread, Land, Peace and All Power to the Soviets.”
  • 14. Lenin’s Death • Died in January 1924. • Believed Leon Trotsky should replace him as leader. Trotsky had successfully lead Red Army against the White Army. Had a vision of the Soviet Union in line with Lenin. He wanted to focus on agriculture.
  • 15. Lenin’s Death • Lenin believed that Stalin could not handle the power that came with leadership. Stalin believed in the industrialization of the nation. • Stalin takes control, has Trotsky killed.
