The '''Russian Revolution''' was a series of socio-economic upheavals in [[Russia]] in 1917, leading ultimately to the [[Russian Civil War]]. The Revolution occurred in two phases: the [[February Revolution]] and [[October Revolution]]. As a result of the revolution, Russia withdrew from the [[Allied Powers of World War I|Allied Powers]]. The repressive [[Communist Party]] overthrew the provisional Kerensky government which was in the organizational stages of a [[democracy]].
The [[Great War]] had weakened Czar [[Nicholas II]], and he abdicated the throne in March 1917. Russia was left under the provisional government of [[Alexander Kerensky]], which intended to continue fighting in the war, but in November 1917, the [[Bolshevik]] Communist Party, led by [[Vladimir Ilyich Lenin]], overthrew the provisional government and executed the Czar's family.

After the civil war, Russia was in economic ruins. Lenin announced his [[New Economic Policy]] (NEP) to restore trade and industry to the county. The NEP permitted some capitalism to create incentives, and it allowed some foreign investment. Peasants were permitted sell surplus crops. Profits by merchants were allowed. But government still controlled all major industries. The private ownership only applied to small factories, farms and stores.

Politically, Lenin established the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] (USSR) in 1922, allowing one central government under Lenin to control many socialized republics. In 1924, the [[Bolsheviks]] began calling themselves “Communists” and established a constitution. But there was only one political party, and it held all the power. It was the [[Communist Party]].
