for all the revolutions

ive been reading about the two major revolutions in russia in 1917. The first was the February Revolution and the second, the October Revolution. the revolutions were in response to the years of overbearing monarchies.  people wanted a government that they could be a part of and participate in. when the revolutions were growing, the government was suffering from wwi. there were still food shortages and high prices for basic ingredients.  people thought the Tsar, II, didnt understand their plight and they blamed him for the economic issues. the peasants were also moving to the industrialized cities in large numbers, creating a more centralized labor force.  the workers in the cities lived in crowded and unsanitary housing, working in factories that were dangerous and were paid insufficiently.  a benefit to moving to the city was that the peasants were exposed to politics and the realization that they could have power over the owning class through strikes. the feb revolution was sporadic and not organized; it started on the 23^rd in the capital, Petrograd.  The factory workers walked out to demonstrate against the shortage of bread and by the 25^th most every industry in the city had been shut down.  students, teachers, and white-collar workers also joined the demonstrators. The police could not handle the protesters and many of the soldiers ordered to shoot at the demonstrators refused to fire.  soon after, the Tsar abdicated his thrown under the pressure. 

Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik party, led the October Revolution.  the second revolution was based on commie ideology and the writings of Lenin and Karl Marx.  the revolution ended the short reign of the Provincial Parliamentary Government, which governed in between revolutions.  multiple councils made up of local peasants and workers replaced the provincial parliament. the ending goal of the Revolution was for an economic system that would not be based on class and social status.  it would be one where the people hold a common ownership of the means of production.
