The Russian revolution is the fundamental political and social upheaval that erupted in the Russian empire in 1917. The roots of the Russian Revolution are to be sought in the arbitrary, autocratic, and repressive czarist political and social system that evolved in the 16th – 18th century. It began with the collapse of the centuries-old czarist regime in February that led to the overthrow of the Western-style Provisional Government and the establishment of the first national communist political system in October. In the last years before World War 1 there was no reason to believe that revolution was inevitable, much less imminent in Russia. But as military defeats piled up, a progressive block was formed in the Duma (parliament that had limited power). The member of the block strove valiantly to convince the government that it must follow the example of western government to accept the voluntary cooperation of the public in coping with the inordinately difficult problems. The autocracy, jealous of its exclusive authority refused all such offers that would help his government. Rapidly the government lost all shred of public confidence. Under the czars Russia was a backward country, much of the land was in royal and private estate\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.barnsdle.demon.co.uk/russ/rusrev.html

The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period in the history of France. During this time, republicanism replaced the absolute monarchy in France, and the French sector of the Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo radical restructuring. While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état by Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolution nonetheless spelled a definitive end to the ancien régime. It eclipses the subsequent revolutions of 1830 and 1848 in the popular imagination. It is widely seen as a major turning point in continental European history, from the age of absolutism to that of the citizenry, and even of the masses, as the dominant political force.

It changed to socialism, a popular form of economics in Europe.  It's a cross between communism and capitalism.  There also was a big black market in the Soviet Union anyways.  Only around 5% of the population of the Soviet Union belonged to the Communist party.

The Decembrist revolt or the Decembrist uprising (Russian: Восстание декабристов) was attempted in Imperial Russia by army officers who led about 3,000 Russian soldiers on December 14 (December 26 New Style), 1825. Because these events occurred in December, the rebels were called the Decembrists (Dekabristy, Russian: Декабристы). This uprising took place in the Senate Square in St. Petersburg. In 1925, to mark the centenary of the event, it was renamed as Decembrist Square (Ploshchad' Dekabristov, Russian: Площадь Декабристов).\n\nMuch more detailed information at the source link

Some people have a problem with labelling a revolution; for many, a revolution is the violent overthrow of a reigning government. However, see scientific revolution, and singing revolution for other examples of non-violent revolutions. In the years since there have been several similar, largely nonviolent revolutions removing similarly unpopular regimes (in, for example, the former East Germany, the Velvet Revolution in the former Czechoslovakia, and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine), so the EDSA Revolution may seem more "authentically" revolutionary now than it did at the time, and could even perhaps be cited as the event that led, at least in part, to subsequent peaceful revolts.\n\nThe difference between a revolution & a rebellion is in the outcome.

There are lots of reasons.  The infrastructure of the USSR was falling apart.  The cold war ate up all their resources.  They also had to implement some capitalistism in their economy so it wouldn't totally collapse, therefore not totally socialist.  The people were also terrified and pissed about being sent to Gulag.  Consult a history book for more.

Proletariat was the driving force of the Revolution. The proletariat (from Latin proles, offspring) is a term used to identify a lower social class. In Russia Bolshevik Party that organized the revolutionary movement in its majority consisted from proletariat. You can read more about them at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolshevik_Party
