(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Very Hard of History

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the most significant events of the 20th century, resulting in the overthrow of the czarist monarchy and the rise of the communist regime under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin. Consider the excerpt from historian Orlando Figes in his book 'A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution 1891-1924': 'The February Revolution of 1917 was the result of a long crisis that shook the czarist monarchy, intensified by the effects of the First World War. It was a popular uprising, a revolt against autocracy, poverty, and the hardships suffered by the Russian people.' Based on the excerpt and your knowledge, describe and analyze two of the main antecedent factors that contributed to the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, especially considering the period immediately before 1917. Additionally, discuss how these factors relate to the historical context of World War I and how the war accelerated the crisis and the fall of the czarist regime. Explain the implications of these events for the configuration of the communist regime under Lenin.
