There were a few causes of the Russian Revolution.
The start of World War One was an immediate cause. It led to widespread famine in Russia because all of the supplies were sent to soldiers. In February 1917, there was a strike on International Women's Day demanding food.
The end of serfdom in 1861 was another cause. It led to a ruling nobility that didnt represent the thoughts ideas and beliefs of the proletariat, or working class. There was an unfair and unequal distribution of land that upset many Russians.
Thus, Lenin's slogan for the Bolsheviks was "Peace, Land and Bread"
