What developments helped lead up to the revolution?

Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>Many things led to Revolution (and one interesting question is "Had Tsar Alexander II not been assassinated, would Russia be a constitutional monarchy even to this day....but for another time), but the three main things were World War I going badly for Russia, Rasputin's perceived influence on Tsarina Alexandra, and the fact that Tsar Nicholas II was pretty much whipped by the Tsarina and would do anything she asked just to keep her happy. All these were very much interrelated. 

As World War I went horribly for Russia (along with thousands of mutanies along the front), Nicholas decided to go to the front...which of course made matters worse. Alexandra was pretty much left in charge, and since she was German by birth, there was already much suspicion. To further alienate the people, her inner circle was Rasputin and Anna Virubova, the former causing much concern among everyone. The Tsarina overlooked Rasputin's debaucheries as he seemed to be the only one who could heal the heamophiliac Tsarovich Alexi. Rasputin had a nack for knowing what the Tsarina wanted to hear, and would make suggestions on policy based on this sense. She would then send these letters to the front and Nicholas would agree to whatever she asked. With her being German and Rasputin's reputation, the people finally had enough. Nicholas abdicated the throne to his brother, and the revolution occured shortly thereafter. 

These are the immediate causes that led to the first revolution (of course, revolutionaries have abounded since Alexander II freed the serfs in the 1860's attempting to kill him seven times). 

Lenin came into the picture thanks to the Germans, who looked for a way to remove Russia from the war to free up troops for the bogged down western front. Lenin was leading from exile (although politically brave, he was actually a personal coward). The Germans secretly furnished a train to get him into Russia to stir things up. He eventually led Russia into civil war following the Bolshevik revolution. 

Edit: Crux....the white army was the army that followed Trotsky in the Russian civil war....not the actual Russian army in World War I.</span>

The Origins and Evolution of the Soviet State

The Soviet state was born in 1917. That year, the revolutionary Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian czar and established a socialist state in the territory that had once belonged to the Russian empire. In 1922, Russia proper joined its far-flung republics in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The first leader of this Soviet state was the Marxist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin.

<span>Did You Know? In 1988, Time magazine selected Mikhail Gorbachev to be its “Man of the Year” for his work toward ending the Cold War. The next year, it named him its “Man of the Decade.” In 1990, Gorbachev won the Nobel Peace Prize.</span>

The Soviet Union was supposed to be “a society of true democracy,” but in many ways it was no less repressive than the czarist autocracy that preceded it. It was ruled by a single party–the Communist Party–that demanded the allegiance of every Russian citizen. After 1924, when the dictator Joseph Stalin came to power, the state exercised totalitarian control over the economy, administering all industrial activity and establishing collective farms. It also controlled every aspect of political and social life. People who argued against Stalin’s policies were arrested and sent to labor camps or executed.
