Russian Revolution can refer to the following events in the history of Russia:

The Russian Revolution of 1905, which was a series of riots and anti-government violence against Tsar Nicholas II.

The Russian Revolution of 1917, which included the February Revolution resulting in the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia and the October Revolution, which was the Bolshevik revolt.

The Third Russian Revolution, which was the failed anarchist revolution against the Bolsheviks that started in 1918. It was suppressed along with the White Movement by 1922.

When the year is not indicated in the reference, the term "Russian Revolution", if used as a time mark, usually refers to the October Revolution of 1917, whereas references to the revolution of 1905 always mention the year and references to the February Revolution always mention the month.
