    The document summarizes the key events of the Russian Revolution. It describes the pre-revolution conditions of unrest in Russia under Czar Nicholas II from various groups seeking reforms. It then discusses the failed 1905 revolution and Russia's involvement in World War I, which further weakened the country. The February Revolution of 1917 saw Czar Nicholas abdicated and a provisional government take over, but Lenin and the Bolsheviks then seized power in the October Revolution. This led to a civil war between the Reds and anti-communist Whites. Lenin eventually pulled Russia out of WWI via the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk but the country was devastated by years of war and upheaval under the new Soviet Union.
