The russians had a revolution because the czar was a very cruel ruler. He didn't care about his people. Russia was behind all other countries in economy and industry. People couldn't take it anymore after WWI. The war completely destroyed the economy, it sparked up the building up tension between the czar and his people. Lenin was the leader and mastermind behind the revolution. His signature quote was "Peace, Land and Bread", it meant that he wanted everyone to have those things, no one more than the other. He followed the ideas of Karl Marx with ways of controlling the country and economy. Those ideas are called Communism. After he took over the country from the temporary government, with a group of his supporters called the Bolsheviks he tried to fix Russia's economy and eliminate his rivals.
