How were tsar nicholasII and vladimir lenin associated with the russian revolution?
Tsar Nicholas was the ruler of russia before the revolution of 1917.Apparently he was not very bright and influenced by the last person he talked to.He refused to give any concessions to the liberals who held sway in the duma (Parliament) and his obduracy helped to create the conditions for the bolsheviks,led by lenin and trotsky (Vladimir Iilich Ulinayov and Lev bronstien) to grab state power through the Bolshevik party.Discontent over the course of the war led to the people following the Bolshevik slogan of Peace and Bread.
