Abstract
This chapter examines the Russian Revolutions of 1917 through political, social, cultural, and ideological perspectives. It explains how wartime hardship, administrative paralysis, and popular unrest destroyed tsarist authority and weakened the Provisional Government under conditions of dual power. The chapter analyses liberal reform programmes, military disintegration, and widening divisions between educated elites and ordinary citizens while emphasising demands for land, peace, workers' control, and social justice. It also explores national liberation movements across the former empire, especially in Ukraine and Central Asia, where revolutionary groups pursued autonomy, democratic reform, and post-imperial political transformation. Finally, the chapter explains how growing public disillusionment, intensifying class conflict, and expanding Soviet influence enabled the Bolsheviks to seize power and reshape Russia's revolutionary future.
