II What stood behind the Russian Revolution.
How Marx became the ideologist of Russian mujics


Revolutions are made and always leave behind heroes,leaders and legends. But most importantly, it leaves behind an idea. The Russians have always looked to go to Europe – although their pride will never let them admit - they glared at the French in 1789 and, between two failed revolutions, dreamed a little in 1848. They brought from the old continent everything they thought was useful to create an ideological arsenal. We heard about Marxism, Revolution, Petersburg. What ultimately meant the Russian Revolution we all know: Communism. But what was the basis of this proto-USSR? Where did it actually come from? Was it all that moment, 1917 - a spring revolution of a starving people and a autumnal coup d ‘etat? When, how, who, where, and especially why?

Duality. The Russian dance was always played in two. Russia was an eastern part and a western part - too close to the east, or too close to the west? Maned by the desire for emancipation and modernization, the Russians could never give up on traditions.A history divided between the monarchy - with the two dynasties - and communism. A yin and yang of wealth and poverty seen from Petersburg and Moscow - the two capitals - to the far steppes of Siberia and back. The proletariat and the bourgeoisie, from the pen and the hammer, with the violence of the weapon, but also with the one of the words –here are the two faces of the Russian Revolution.

II.1 When? It was once...
It’s simple. No, the Russian people were not a people who endured and always suffered without complaining. Riots and instability are an inheritance left shortly after the Middle Ages. There were first simple peasant revolutions, as elsewhere in Europe - the famous actions of Stenka Razin and Pugaciov, from the 17th and 18th centuries. Once the Tsarist rullersn started, the Russians chose their leader, so that he would then take him down from power, one way or another.On the other hand, in 1917, it was not the first time a tsar ordered that those revolting were to die.It's a paradox that has been repeated, a curse that ended its cycle in 1917, only to distract the entire world. A deeply Christian people, but who always wanted to die.

1825: "3000 rebellious soldiers gathered at night to make public their claims.Their leaders were veterans of the campaigns against France, which managed to make a secret network of liberal cells within the army. They will remain in the history of Russia under the name of `’ Decembrists’’, leaving an inheritance that will inspire future generations in the fight against autocracy and repression.’’ One of the times the Tsar raised the guns against his own people.

It was also the "Bloody Sunday" of 1905 when the working and hungry people went to the Tsar to find out why they were so fated. Led by a priest and with white banners, which read: "Soldiers, do not shoot the people !’’,they have swam with their own blood snow the snow from the gates of Petersburg.I t is said that "just a few moments after the cessation of the shootings, an old man returned to a fourteen-year-old boy and told him in a maniacal tone : ‘’ Do not forget, son, do not forget and swear to pay the Tsar. You saw how much blood he shed, didn’t you? Then swear, boy, swear!’’
The other face of the coin is presented us by history through the joy of the people at the death of Catherine, who continued to lead Russia on the road to modernity opened by Peter the Great. The blood was spilled on the noble side, for Paul I was assassinated in his own bedroom on March 23, 1801, following the refusal to sign the abdication.

They pulsed, forcing the hand of destiny: in 1881, Russia killed its " The Liberating Tsar", Alexander II, the one who emancipated the serfs,beginning the process of dissolving the serfdom.And like the rolling of an ever-increasing bulge, it followed 1918, when the entire Romanov family was shot. Communism had become the new silnaia ruka, that iron leader the Russian people were looking for. Respecting '' tradition '', the new ruling power has killed ... millions of people

When did the official Revolution took place on February 23, 1917 ?The international woman's day. Informal?Forever
