The Russian Revolution of 1917 radically transformed the country's political landscape by dismantling the centuries-old Tsarist autocracy. Discontent among workers, peasants, and soldiers, exacerbated by World War I hardships, fueled revolutionary sentiments. The February Revolution led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the establishment of a provisional government. However, dissatisfaction with this government paved the way for the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, where Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power, advocating for "peace, land, and bread." This shift established a communist regime, significantly altering Russia's political, social, and economic structures and shaping global politics for decades to come.
