Domestic and foreign policy caused nation's anger and disrespect both in the eyes of own people and foreigners. As a result, Russian defeats and casualties on the WWI battlefields became a culminating point of Russian troubled times - the March Revolution began. Ultimately, Czar's rule was replaced and two main powers appeared: Provisional Government which consisted of wealthy elite and local Soviets which represented the majority of population. As the matter of fact Russians got disappointed with Provisional Government for many reasons. First of all that government continued participating in WWI and did nothing to stop it while practically all citizens suffered wartime troubles and wished taking their state out of the absurd war. Also Provisional Government was weak and had no real support either among citizens or in the army, so when Bolsheviks...

Russians realized that Provisional Government provided the same policy Czar did and it became clear that March Revolution could not solve all problems of Russian society so social instability continued.
Bolsheviks leaded by Vladimir Lenin used the situation in own interests. They realized importance of propaganda since they made conclusions from the results of previous revolution, so they influenced masses using simple but extremely popular and effective slogans such as "All Power to the Soviets!," "Peace, Bread, Land!." Other parties' programs were too complicated and it was the main reason why they failed to receive public support. Bolsheviks' newspaper "Pravda" ("The Truth") popularized socialistic ideas and called the nation to fight for a new better life.
