The '''July Days''' refers to an attempted [[Bolshevik]] coup that took place in Petrograd ([[St Petersburg]]), [[Russia]], between July 4 and July 7 (Julian calender) (July 16-July 20, Gregorian calender) in 1917, when soldiers and industrial workers in the city, some bearing Bolshevik standards, rioted against the Provisional Government that was heading Russia at the time. After the riots began the Bolsheviks debated on the likely outcome and decided to take control as they believed the 'proleteriat' were ready to defeat the Provisional Government and believed there would be a second Revolution.

The riots were crushed easily by police. Significantly, the outcome of the July Days represented a temporary decline in the growth of Bolshevik power and influence in the period before the [[October Revolution]], because even though it was withdrawn rather quickly, the Bolshevik support for the riots was obvious.
