February Revolution
Anyone know any good books on the topic? [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Revolution][/url]Quote:
The revolution centered on Petrograd (now known as St. Petersburg), then the Russian capital, on 8 March. Revolutionary activity was largely confined to the capital and its vicinity, and lasted about eight days. It involved mass demonstrations and armed clashes with police and gendarmes, the last loyal forces of the Russian monarchy. On 12 March mutinous Russian Army forces sided with the revolutionaries. Three days later the result was the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, the end of the Romanov dynasty, and the end of the Russian Empire. Russian Council of Ministers was replaced by a Russian Provisional Government under Prince Georgy Lvov.
