10-mark Russian History Question. (2:09 minutes long)

And here is an example…

(This as an example of an essay answer to the same question.)

In March 1917 Tsar Nicholas II learnt that the army no longer supported him. He was overthrown and a Provisional Government took control of Russia. This marked the end of the Romanov Dynasty. Russia was now a democracy.

Hatred of Rasputin, main advisor to the crown, and faith healer to Alexi, was one of the reasons for this revolution. Rasputin gave poor advice to the Tsar and Tsarina. On his advice, important ministers were dismissed from government. Even military decisions were made based on Rasputin’s guidance, often with catastrophic results!

Moreover, ordinary Russians did not understand why Nicholas II associated with Rasputin, who was well known as a drunkard and a womanizer. This association damaged the Tsar’s image.

Nobles close to the Tsar disliked Rasputin’s influence and eventually murdered him, but a lot of damage was already inflicted and Tsarist rule became very unpopular.

However, there were more reasons for the 1917 March revolution. The Tsar failed to address longstanding discontent: Peasants and workers lived in great poverty and had no land of their own. Workers received low wages and were also very poor. Nobles had no say in the government.

Russia’s involvement in WW1 made conditions in Russia even worse. She suffered great defeats, which caused a loss of morale. Shortages caused inflation and increased suffering.

In addition, Nicholas and Alexandra’s incompetence brought revolution closer. Nicholas would not allow the Duma any powers to make laws. He also joined the Battlefront and left Alexandra in charge of ruling the country. She relied on Rasputin’s advice. This fuelled rumours that Alexandra and Rasputin were German spies. There were also rumours about her and Rasputin having an affair.

All these factors worked together to cause the March 1917 Revolution, and not only hatred for Rasputin. Ultimately, it was the fact that the army no longer supported Nicholas II, that was probably the most immediate reason for the Russian revolution of March 1917.

Finally…
