Study Notes

Russian Revolution, Civil War, Causes of the Revolution, Outcomes and Consequences, Key Figures, Ideological Streams

Causes of the Russian Revolution:
Economic hardship: Widespread poverty, food shortages, and unemployment fueled discontent among the populace. Peasants suffered greatly under Tsarist rule while industrial workers faced dangerous and exploitative conditions.
Political autocracy: The Tsarist regime was characterized by a lack of political freedom and representation. Opposition groups were frequently suppressed, and the government responded violently to dissent.
World War I: Russia's costly and unsuccessful involvement in World War I exacerbated existing problems. Military defeats, massive casualties, and the strain on resources led to widespread public anger and the collapse of morale.
Social inequality: A vast gap existed between the wealthy elite and the impoverished masses. Land ownership was concentrated in the hands of a few, creating resentment and fueling calls for land redistribution.
Weak leadership: Tsar Nicholas II was perceived as an incompetent and out-of-touch ruler, failing to address the nation's problems.
Outcomes and Consequences of the February Revolution:
Abdication of Tsar Nicholas II: The Tsar was forced to abdicate, ending centuries of Romanov rule.
Establishment of a Provisional Government: A temporary government was formed to govern the country until a new form of government could be established. This was initially enthusiastically received, but its ability to address the country's problems was limited.
Dual Power: The Provisional Government shared power with the Petrograd Soviet, a council of workers and soldiers, leading to political instability.
Outcomes and Consequences of the October Revolution:
Bolshevik seizure of power: Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik Party seized power in Petrograd, marking a significant shift in Russia's political landscape.
Establishment of the Soviet Union: The Bolsheviks' victory resulted in the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), ushering in a new era of communist rule.
Withdrawal from World War I: Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, exiting World War I, but at a significant cost in terms of territory.
Russian Civil War (1918-1922):
Bolsheviks (Reds) versus White armies: The civil war was a bloody conflict between the Bolshevik regime (Reds) and various anti-Bolshevik forces (Whites).
Foreign intervention: Foreign powers intervened on the side of the Whites, further escalating the violence and instability of the war.
War Communism: The Bolshevik regime implemented harsh economic policies and strict political control during the war.
Key Figures:
Vladimir Lenin: Leader of the Bolshevik Party and architect of the Russian Revolution.
Joseph Stalin: A rising Bolshevik leader who eventually consolidated power and became dictator of the Soviet Union.
Leon Trotsky: Close associate of Lenin and key figure in the early years of the Soviet regime, before falling out with Stalin.
Nicholas II: Tsar of Russia who was overthrown during the revolution.
Alexander Kerensky: Leader of the Provisional Government during a turbulent period.
Ideological Streams:
Marxism-Leninism: The dominant ideology of the Bolsheviks, advocating for a communist state. It differed from Marx's initial ideas through Lenin's concept of vanguardism (a leading party to lead the proletariate to revolution).
Anarchism: While present during the revolution, it played less of a guiding role than ideologies like Marxism-Leninism. Different anarchists sought varied outcomes, but few held significant power in the new government.
Liberalism and Constitutional Monarchy: These ideologies were challenged by the revolutionary fervor and replaced by Socialist approaches in general.
Outcomes of the Civil War:
Bolshevik Victory: The Bolsheviks ultimately prevailed in the Russian Civil War.
Political consolidation of the Communist Party: The Bolsheviks' triumph solidified their grip on power and established a one-party state.
Economic devastation: The civil war caused significant economic damage and upheaval, impacting all aspects of Russian society.
Long-Term Effects:
Establishment of a totalitarian state in the USSR: The revolution led to the formation of the USSR, characterized by strict central control and the suppression of dissent.
Global impact: The Russian Revolution served as an inspiration to communist movements worldwide, inspiring socialist and communist parties globally.
Rise of the Cold War: The ideological struggle between communism and capitalism ultimately contributed to the intense political tensions of the Cold War.
