Rio de Janeiro:Brazilian Civilization, 2000, p.48-49. Adapted. The Russian Revolution was a movement that took place between 1917 and 1928, overthrew the monarchy in the country and ended up culminating in the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Its roots, however, can be traced back to 1905, after popular spirits rose with the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. About this process, it is correct to say that a) Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate the throne after the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917, when the Bolsheviks, supported by the Mensheviks, installed the Duma Republic, of socialist character and led by the worker and radical Alexander Kerensky. b) with the death of Lenin in 1926, there was a struggle for power between Trotsky, who defended the implantation of socialism only in the USSR, and Stalin, secretary general of the Socialist Party, who defended the expansion of the revolution to other countries, which became known as the permanent revolution. c) the Red Army, formed by Mensheviks and Bolsheviks and organized by Josef Stalin, in 1921, to contain the counterrevolutionary movement carried out by the Russian aristocrats, was victorious in 1925, which led to the institution, by Stalin and Lenin, of the USSR, which brought together different regions of the former Russian Empire. d) the failure of the Duma Republic began to be glimpsed in 1917, when the president of the Petrograd soviet, Leon Trotsky, formed the Red Guard, composed of worker militiamen, and when the Bolshevik leader, Lenin, returned clandestinely from his exile and incited the soviets to seize power through a revolution. e) The Revolution of 1905, also known as the Menshevik Revolution, was a bourgeois movement forerunner of the Revolution of 1917. It was sparked after the Tsarist army massacred a peaceful demonstration of businessmen and merchants against the expenditures in the Russo-Japanese War during a meeting of the Duma, the Russian Parliament.
