[edit] Neutralism

Don't you think that a sentence such as "Despite his understanding of the needs of the oppressed peoples of Russia" regarding Lenin is a bit un-appropriate for a historical piece? (Lior)

[edit] History

I love Wikipedia and use it all of the time. However, there are people who don't because the information stated in it is incorrect. WHOEVER WRITES THE ARTICLES MUST GET THE HISTORY CORRECT! The article states that Nicholas II didn't want to believe the seriousness of the riots in Petrograd that Rodzianko reported to him. This is not the case at all. Rodzianko didn't, in fact, report the seriousness of the riots to the Tsar. He told the Tsar that there were street riots in Petrograd. There were street riots in every major Russian city all of the time during Nicholas's reign. They were almost always dealt with with the city police, and I might add that the police were successful. So why, especially when there was a war in which Russia wasn't doing too well in, should Nicholas bother himself with a common place activity when he had never dealt with it beforehand?

[edit] EDit with more detail

Just added more detail but do not know how to add the links etc so could someone please tidy up for me?!

[edit] "(those who had not fled on 29th Feb under the pretense of a power cut)"

More detail is needed to explain this. Was there an actual power cut ? What caused it ? And how did this serve as a pretense for the ministers to flee ? Did they flee the country completely  ? StuRat 14:35, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor changes, and Tsar/Czar

I've added some more detail regarding the other causes of the revolution that were hinted at in the paragraph about WWI. Also inserted a translation of the meaning of the word Soviet in this context (workers council) and have tried (wherever noticeable) to correct all 'Tsar' to 'Czar'. NOT that there is anything incorrect about Tsar, but the article predominantly uses the term Czar, therefore using both may cause some confusion for readers who do not realise they are the same thing.

in a more modern concept, the Feb revolution is viewed as separate from the Oct revolution. This should be mentioned I believe. Of course this is a matter of historical opinion, but the Feb revolution is more often seen as the revolution that brought about the collapse of the Tsarist regime and not as the first stage of the Russian Revolution as most Marxist historians state. Just an idea... Bogdan1991 22:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Referencing

No personal offense intended but; people, where are the references for this article!? What's the point in studying history if there's no proof for the recount of what has taken place? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradley.aitken (talk • contribs) 07:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A few changes

I made some edits to make this article more neutral and less essayish, clarify some things, and removed some false statements about the Kornilov affair. As a future improvement, I suggest taking out large parts of this article and making separate articles of them, alternatively merging them with other articles. This article should focus on the february revolution, and should not try to cover every event between the february revolution and the october coup. I also agree with the above posters that we need refences, but unfortunately I do not have my reference library at hand. 83.255.1.166 (talk) 18:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
