The Czars of Russia were the most autocratic rulers of Europe. The masses were very poor. The First stage of the Russian Revolution began in February 1917 with overthrow of the Czar Nicholas II. The second stage in October of the same year led to the establishment of the world’s first communist state of the Bolsheviks under Lenin. This was perhaps the greatest revolution after the French Revolution and was not limited to Russia alone but affected almost all countries of the world. It established the ideology of Communism and led to independence of several countries.
