  29. Double Revolution in Russia, 1917 • Russia’s political system , w/ its weak Duma & powerful Tsar, was not conducive to total war mobilization. • The tsar, Nicholas II, distrusted the Duma & resisted calls to share power w/ his subjects. • In September 1915, the tsar took direct command of armies @ the front, leaving his wife, Alexandra, and her adviser Rasputin in real control of the gov’t.

  30. Double Revolution in Russia, 1917 • By late 1916 the large but incompetent & poorly equipped Russian army had experienced numerous defeats & had run out of ammunition & other essential supplies. • The civilian economy was in a state of collapse and the cities faced shortages of fuel and food in the winter of 1916-1917.

  31. Double Revolution in Russia, 1917 • In March 1917 (February by the old Russian calendar), troops in St. Petersburg mutinied as women rioted, demanding bread. The Duma formed a provisional gov’t. & the Tsar abdicated. • On November 6, 1917 (October 24 in the Russian calendar) Vladimir Lenin’s Bolsheviks staged an uprising in Petrograd & overthrew the Provisional gov’t.
