Question

what systems of government existed in Russia before Vladimir Lenin and how did he gain power

Answer 1

When Lenin came home to Russia in April 1917, the Russian Revolution was already starting. Strikes over food shortages in March had forced the abdication of the inept Czar tsar, ending centuries of imperial rule.

Russia came beneath the command of a tentative Government, that opposed violent social reform and continuing Russian involvement in war I.

Lenin began plotting associate overthrow of the tentative Government. To Lenin, the tentative government was a “dictatorship of the socio-economic class.” He advocated instead for direct rule by the staff and peasants during a “dictatorship of the labor.”

By fall of 1917, Russians had become even additional war weary. Peasants, staff and troopers demanded immediate amendment in what became called the takeover.

Lenin, alert to the leadership vacuum plaguing Russia, determined to seize power. He on the QT organized manufacturing plant staff, peasants, troopers and sailors into Red Guards—a volunteer personnel. On November seven and eight, 1917, Red Guards captured tentative Government buildings during a bloodless coup d’état.

The Bolsheviks condemned power of the govt and announced Soviet rule, creating Nikolai Lenin leader of the world’s initial communist state. The new Soviet government concluded Russian involvement in war I with the pact of Brest-Litovsk.
