LaoThere were two Russian Revolutions in 1917, the February Revolution and the October, or Bolshevik Revolution.
In the February Revolution, the revolt began as a spontaneous unorganized demonstration against the Tsar and his government. Over 200,000 workers, peasants and soldiers in Petrograd went to the streets in mass protests and strikes. The protests spread to other cities as well. When the army units stationed in Petrograd refused to obey Tsar Nicholas II's orders to stop the riots, they refused and even joined the demonstrators. Nicholas's ministers convinced him that only his abdication would stop the rioting. He realized he was now powerless and abdicated. There was no military action against the Tsar to forcibly overthrow his government.
As far as the October, or Bolshevik, Revolution, this was not at all a revolution by the people of Russia. This revolution was nothing more than an armed insurrection by members and supporters of the Bolshevik Party in order to take over the government that had been set up after the Tsar abdicated. It was not a popular revolt. In fact many other revolutionaries, including some Bolsheviks, were against it.
