During Russian revolution who ruled it

The Russian Revolution, which took place from 1917 to 1922, was a period of political and social revolution across the territory of the Russian Empire. It commenced with the abolition of the monarchy, so the Tsar Nicholas II was the last one to rule before the revolution.

The revolution consisted of two major parts:

1. The February Revolution (March 1917): This led to the end of the Russian Empire and the establishment of a Provisional Government. The Provisional Government was an emergency governmental authority set up to manage Russia after the fall of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II. It was primarily composed of former members of the State Duma (the Russian Parliament) and was led by Alexander Kerensky.

2. The October Revolution (November 1917): This was led by the Bolsheviks, a radical socialist group led by Vladimir Lenin. They overthrew the Provisional Government and established the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, the world's first constitutionally socialist state.

So, to answer your question, the Russian Revolution was initially ruled by the Provisional Government and later by the Bolsheviks under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin.
