What is the meaning of 'soviet' from the February Revolution in 1917 in Russia?
The word "soviet" means "council". Prior to the February Revolution as the workers, soldiers and peasants grew more and more dissatisfied with the operation of the government, groups of Russian citizens organized themselves in the form of councils in Petrograd, Moscow and many other Russian cities. They were created to make known the the Tsar and his ministers the various complaints the people had. At the time of the Revolution, these councils became politically powerful in that they represented the people of Russia and were strong enough to rouse the populace against the government; therefore they were a force to be reckoned with even though they were not official bodies. Ironically, after the February Revolution, the formal government, the Provisional Government understood that the soviets had real power. The PG had an understanding with the Petrograd Soviet that it would not take actions without the knowledge if not the consent of the Petrograd Soviet. In essence, the Provisional Government had responsibility but no real power; whereas the Soviets had power but no real responsibility.

How were the early Russian revolutionaries different from modern-day terrorists?
In a nutshell, their overall missions are different. The contemporary terrorist's mission is religious, and the early Russian revolutionary's mission was political. For example, when Tsar Alexander II was assassinated, the goal was governmental reform, not to send a religious message to the West. Early Russian revolutionaries attempted to topple the government to create better conditions for the Russian peasants and working class, and modern terrorists are on a mission to topple the infidel West.
