FROM FEBRUARY TO OCTOBER: A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONARY EVENTS OF 1917
Journal Title: Tractus aevorum: эволюция социокультурных и политических пространств - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This article deals with the revolutionary events in Russia in 1917. The author explores why a revolutionary situation developed in the country and how the democratic February Revolution soon was followed by the Bolshevik coup d’etat in October, paying special attention to interactions between the metropoles and the provinces. Marasanova concludes that the events in Petrograd determined the dynamics of the situation in Russia in 1917, while the province followed the city’s lead. Further, the disobedience of lower army ranks to their officers played a key part in the revolutions.
