Negative results of the fall of the autocracy The main negative results of the overthrow of the autocracy by the February Revolution in Russia can be considered: 1. The transition from the evolutionary development of society to development along a revolutionary path, which inevitably led to an increase in the number of violent crimes against the individual and infringement of property rights in society. 2. A significant weakening of the army (as a result of revolutionary agitation in the army and Order No. 1), a drop in its combat effectiveness and, as a result, its ineffective further struggle on the fronts of the First World War. 3. Destabilization of society, which led to a deep split in the existing civil society in Russia. As a result, there was a sharp increase in class contradictions in society, the growth of which during 1917 led to the transfer of power into the hands of radical forces, which ultimately led to the Civil War in Russia.

Slide 18

Positive results of the fall of autocracy: 1. One of the biggest remnants of feudalism, which seriously hampered the development of the country - autocracy, was eliminated. 2. Conditions were created for the real development of society along a democratic path. 3. There was a short-term consolidation of society as a result of the adoption of a number of democratic legislative acts and a real chance for society, on the basis of this consolidation, to resolve many long-standing contradictions in the country's social development.

Lack of labor legislation.

Crisis of autocracy.

People waiting for the end of World War I.

The economic devastation caused by the war led the population to impoverishment and starvation.

February 28 - Order No. 1 of the Petrograd Soviet

01.03-02.03 - creation of the Provisional Government

02.03 - abdication of Nicholas II

On February 26, 1917, Petrograd was captured by the rebels. The Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies was formed in Petrograd. Head - N.S. Chkheidze. Such councils were also formed in other large cities of Russia.

Nicholas 2, being at the headquarters of the Supreme High Command, decided to return to the capital. But his train was stopped. He was persuaded to abdicate. On March 2, 1917, Nicholas II abdicated in favor of his younger brother Mikhail, but Mikhail refused the throne. The autocracy has fallen.

Working with handouts Text 1

Read the text and answer the question: Why did Nicholas II agree to abdicate the throne?

A direct participant in the events, General Savvich S.S., describes the adoption of this decision by the king: The Tsar was informed: “Your Majesty, the situation is not possible now to deal with the questionnaire, but events are rushing with such speed and worsening the situation so every minute that any delay threatens with incalculable disasters ... I ask Your Majesty to listen to the opinion of my assistants, both of them in the highest degree independent and, moreover, direct people. The emperor turned to us and, looking at us, said: - Well, but I only ask for a frank opinion. ... Danilov saw no other way out of the difficult situation that had arisen, except for accepting the proposal of the Chairman of the State Duma. The sovereign, turning to me, asked: - Do you have the same opinion?

I was terribly worried. An attack of sobs squeezed

I am a straightforward person, and therefore I fully subscribe to what General Danilov said.

There was a general silence that lasted, it seemed to me, for about two minutes. The sovereign sat in thought, bowed his head. Then he stood up and said:

I made up my mind. I renounce the throne.

At the same time, the sovereign crossed himself. We all crossed ourselves..

Creation of the Provisional Government. From among the representatives of the State Duma, the Provisional Government (cadets and Octobrists) was formed, headed by Prince G.E. Lvov.

Reforms of the Provisional Government:

Providing democratic freedom - freedom words, press, meetings, political activities.

Abolition of the death penalty

Democratization of the army - the equalization of the rights of soldiers and officers, the election of commanders (Order No. 1)

April Crisis.

During the revolution, two bodies of power were formed, none of which was ready to fully assume responsibility for the fate of the country: the Provisional Committee of the State Duma and the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, headed by a provisional executive committee.

Question: Why were both bodies called temporary?

The main negative results of the overthrow of the autocracy:

The transition from the evolutionary development of society to development along a revolutionary path, which inevitably led to an increase in the number of violent crimes against the person and infringement of property rights in society.

A significant weakening of the army (as a result of revolutionary agitation in the army and Order number 1), a drop in its combat effectiveness and, as a result, its ineffective further struggle on the fronts of the First World War.

The destabilization of society, which led to a deep split in the existing civil society in Russia.

Positive results of the fall of autocracy:

A short-term consolidation of society as a result of the adoption of a number of democratic legislative acts and a real chance for society, on the basis of this consolidation, to resolve many long-standing contradictions in the country's social development.

However, the leaders of the country, who came to power as a result of the February revolution, were unable to take advantage of these real, albeit extremely small (given that Russia was at that moment in a state of war) chances for this.

The first crisis of power arose in April 1917, the reason was the decision of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Milyukov to wage the war to a victorious end. The people were dissatisfied.

Bolsheviks and revolution. The Bolsheviks did not play a big role during the February Revolution. They started active later.

In April they held an all-Russian conference of the RSDLPb. Where the course of the party was determined. Party leaders V.I. Lenin, G.E. Zinoviev, N.I. Bukharin, L.D. Trotsky. Lenin proposed to transfer all power to the Soviets, to begin a general democratic transformation.

The Bolsheviks declared that if they came to power, they would begin work on making peace.

Formation of the Red Guard.

June and July crises of power.

Provisional Government in June 1917 offers to launch an offensive on the front line. To show your ability. But the country was undermined by the revolutionary movement, the industrial production. Reduced supplies to the front. With the start of the offensive, mass strikes took place in large cities of Russia. The attack ended in defeat. The provisional government is not trusted.

In July, the leaders of the Provisional Government, headed by Lvov, resigned, A.F. Kerensky became the head.

Message about Kerensky p. 98.

The Bolsheviks were accused of an anti-government uprising, they were persecuted, they were forced to go underground. Lenin fled to Finland.

Rice. Page 99

Speech by General Kornilov. In order to somehow strengthen his power, Kerensky turned to the officers. The top of the army was occupied by General Kornilov, (Fig. P. 100) he proposed to introduce death penalty, restore a combat-ready army and continue the war.

In August, Kornilov sent troops to Petrograd, but Kerensky, fearing that Kornilov would overthrow him himself, declared Kornilov a rebel, and proclaimed that the revolution was in danger. The Red Guard, which emerged from the underground, arrested Kornilov. The attempt to establish a military dictatorship failed.

The results of the revolution:

  • Liquidation of the monarchy
  • The proclamation of the republic, the beginning of elections to the All-Russian Constituent Assembly (a parliamentary institution that was supposed to legislate new system authorities)
  • Formation of dual power or anarchy.

    The main prerequisite for revolutionary actions in February 1917 is the revolution of 1905-1907 - it did not solve the main problems of society: landlessness, working conditions of the proletariat, the issue of national self-determination of peoples within the Russian monarchy.

    In the war of 1914-1918, Russia was on the side of the Entente. The fighting weakened the state: the economic crisis deepened, the strike movement intensified, and a political opposition emerged that managed to create a strong social base. The level of economic development did not allow to adequately meet military needs, the country's external debt increased, factories stopped working, Agriculture was in decline.

    The main reasons for the revolutionary events were: economic decline, loss of authority by the head of state, the anti-war movement, the crisis situation of the peasants.

    Driving forces: proletariat, peasants. The center of events is Petrograd.

    At the end of February 1917, the country was engulfed in a mass movement to overthrow the monarchy and end the war. The army went over to the side of the protesters. Petrograd was captured. It was announced the formation of the Provisional Government and the need to convene the Constituent Assembly. The Soviet of Workers' Deputies of Petrograd was formed.

    The result of the revolution was the abdication of the power of the monarch Nicholas II, the government of the state passed into the hands of the Provisional Government. There was a situation of dual power: the Provisional Government and the Council of Petrograd.

    The highest legislative and executive functions were assigned to the Provisional Government. It wasn't strong enough. The core was made up of members of the parties of social revolutionaries and social democrats. A number of Bolshevik demonstrations took place against him in the summer of 1917 - the "July Days". During the "July days" the leaders of the Bolshevik movement were arrested. One of the ideologists of Bolshevism, Vladimir Lenin, ended up in exile.

    August 1917: General Lavr Kornilov made an attempt to establish a dictatorship. The coup was unsuccessful.

    Gradually, the Bolsheviks increased the number of their representatives in the Petrograd Soviet. After the Kornilov coup, Leon Trotsky became the head of the Soviet.

    In October, the Military Revolutionary Committee was formed under the Petrograd Soviet, whose task was to provide paramilitary support to the Bolshevik faction.

    The revolutionaries captured the Winter Palace on October 25 (according to the new style - November 7). Representatives of the Provisional Government were arrested, and the head, Alexander Kerensky, fled. The event was called the October Revolution.

    The main consequence: the proclamation of Soviet power.
