I believe the name of this article should be changed

Currently, the name of this article is "Russian Revolution", I believe this name can be confusing as there were many Russian revolutions. I think it would be best if the article is renamed to "1917 Russian Revolution" to avoid confusion.

but what "1917 Russian Revolution" are we talking about? February or October Revolution? Because these two are two different revolutions, if October revolution should be considered as such.

Typing errors, e.g. no space between a word and another. This is present between an "Army" and a "The". ImpaktRoyale (talk) 14:04, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

The following statement should be elaborated on, explained better, or a source for it's claim should be provided: "This government was dominated by the interests of prominent capitalists"(...). This line occurs towards the top of this article. Who were these mentioned capitalists? What were their positions in or how did they otherwise relate to the provisional government? What were their interests and how did they impact the provisional government? Where can we find more information about their involvement should we wish to learn it? 2001:14BA:1F1:CE00:C973:BF0B:C5F4:82B7 (talk) 01:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

why redacting the food riot in Petrograd?

@FictiousLibrarian why did you remove the food riot, which was the reason why the tsar abdicated- losing control over the capital, and why did you replace a strict reason, "Fraternization" (which was what happened, people not wanting to fight the germans, but not actively trying to fight their own people and start a mutiny) with an uncertain "large scale mutiny"? Welso (talk) 12:57, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

In short the food riot was overshadowed by other protests and events. Historians and myself tend to view the food riot as the beginning of the tide turning against the Tsar rather than being the watershed moment that caused the Tsar to lose control. Nevertheless I do believe that it is important, if you want to include it in the body of the article or you wish for me to do that, I would be happy to add it. However I don't think it is necessary for the lead.

simple edit

"left to rule in while the Tsar" should be "left to rule while the Tsar" 2600:4040:250E:2000:6428:290A:E4A9:F0CB (talk) 17:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

this passage should be re written

the following passage was hard to read, and seemed to have run-on sentences that were hard to follow. i also felt like it was not formal or objective. This is the 3rd paragraph under october revolution.

"The provisional government with its second and third coalition was led by a right wing fraction of the Socialist-Revolutionary party, SR. This non-elected provisional government faced the revolutionary situation and the growing mood against the war by avoiding elections to the state Duma. However, the October revolution forced the political parties behind the newly dissolved provisional government to move and move fast for immediate elections. All happened so fast that the left SR fraction did not have time to reach out and be represented in ballots of the SR party which was part of the coalition in the provisional government. This non-elected government supported continuation of the war on the side of the allied forces. The elections to the State Duma 25 November 1917 therefore did not mirror the true political situation among peasants even if we don't know how the outcome would be if the anti-war left SR fraction had a fair chance to challenge the party leaders. In the elections the Bolshevik party received 25% of the votes and the Socialist-Revolutionaries as much as 58%. It is possible the left SR had a good chance to reach more than 25% of the votes and thereby legitimate the October revolution but we can only guess."

if anyone is looking to improve this page i think this would be a good thing to do 169.231.184.32 (talk) 19:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
