    The document discusses the causes of the Russian Revolution in 1917. It notes that Russia was previously an autocratic empire led by Tsars with absolute power. The country had a feudal agricultural system and dependent industry. There was growing opposition to Tsarism from Marxist groups like the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks. Dissatisfaction grew due to the ineffective rule of the Tsars and the heavy losses suffered by Russia in World War 1, leading to revolutions in 1905 and February 1917. In October 1917, the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, seized power in the October Revolution by storming the Winter Palace in Petrograd. A civil war ensued between the Red Army and anti-communist White Army from 1918
