Russian Revolution

The phrase Russian Revolution can refer to two specific events in the history of Imperial Russia:

The Russian Revolution of 1905, which was a series of riots and anti-government violence against Czar Nicholas II, leading to the creation of the Duma, but resulting in little change in relation to Nicholas' grip on power;

The Russian Revolution of 1917, which overthrew Nicholas and the Romanov dynasty, plunging the Empire into the bloody Russian Civil War, and giving rise to the Soviet Union.
