Russian Revolution

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

The term Russian Revolution refers mainly to the Russian Revolution of 1917, which included the February Revolution resulting in the abdication (quitting) of Czar Nicholas II and the later Bolshevik revolt of Communism, the October Revolution, that had the royal family shot. The term Russian Revolution can also mean the Russian Revolution of 1905, which was a group of riots that failed.

When talking about time, if the comment does not say the year, the term usually refers to the October Revolution of 1917, while references to the revolution of 1905 always say the year and references to the February Revolution always say the month.

The Third Russian Revolution was the failed anarchist revolution against the Bolsheviks and the White Army from 1918 to 1922, where the anarchists tried to take over.
