Talk:Russian Revolution

this passage should be re written
the following passage was hard to read, and seemed to have run-on sentences that were hard to follow. i also felt like it was not formal or objective. This is the 3rd paragraph under october revolution.

"The provisional government with its second and third coalition was led by a right wing fraction of the Socialist-Revolutionary party, SR. This non-elected provisional government faced the revolutionary situation and the growing mood against the war by avoiding elections to the state Duma. However, the October revolution forced the political parties behind the newly dissolved provisional government to move and move fast for immediate elections. All happened so fast that the left SR fraction did not have time to reach out and be represented in ballots of the SR party which was part of the coalition in the provisional government. This non-elected government supported continuation of the war on the side of the allied forces. The elections to the State Duma 25 November 1917 therefore did not mirror the true political situation among peasants even if we don't know how the outcome would be if the anti-war left SR fraction had a fair chance to challenge the party leaders. In the elections the Bolshevik party received 25% of the votes and the Socialist-Revolutionaries as much as 58%. It is possible the left SR had a good chance to reach more than 25% of the votes and thereby legitimate the October revolution but we can only guess."

if anyone is looking to improve this page i think this would be a good thing to do 169.231.184.32 (talk) 19:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

There is a mistake in the first line of the 'Murder of the Imperial Family' section where it says "In early March 2017, the Provisional Government had placed Nicholas and his family under house arrest..." I assuming that the "2017" should be a "1917" Thanks. 203.213.127.124 (talk) 10:43, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
