Russia

Russian Revolution of 1917 Picture living in 12 below zero temperatures without food and heat. These were the conditions for the Russian citizens during 1916 and 1917. People were starving without any food or heat and their children were off fighting in a war with over 1,700,000 dying men. What were all of them fighting for? The country? Why would a fellow human being want to risk his life for the country when the country cannot even provide it's citizens with enough food and heat. The need for basic necessities such as bread and heat for the Russian citizens was not met by the Tsar during World War I, which of course led to the people's revolts and protests.

In the 1900's two political parties began to form. The white Russians and the red Russians. The white Russians were the democrats also called the Mensheviks and the red Russians were communists also called the Bolsheviks. Both of these parties were against the monarch government. The most powerful of the two were the Bolsheviks. They were headed by Vladimir Ilich commonly known as Lenin. Lenin was becoming stronger and stronger in Russia. He had gained many followers or Bolsheviks. The February Revolution. Up to February 8th, 1998, Russia still followed the Julian Calendar, which was about 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar.
