Abstract

The paper considers the revolutionary events taking place in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century: from the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907 until the February Revolution of 1917. That period of dual power continued until July 1917. The paper provides the analysis of the Program of the Provisional Government that came to power and examines its economic policy, namely the obtaining of loans and fighting the capital flight. Three crises of the new government led to the October Revolution and the Bolsheviks’ taking power. The authors consider political, economic, legal and organizational reasons for the victory of the Bolsheviks.
