In the 1800s, the end of serfdom marked the beginning of even more struggles for the Russian people. They went from being forced to rent farmland, to being completely landless. This pushed people into the cities and left many jobless. The Russian Revolution occurred in phases, beginning with the revolution of 1905, the people wanted moderate guarantees and concessions that would limit the tsar's power and make life easier for the citizens. The Romanov Dynasty had always been unwilling to give up power and Nicholas II eventually seized control back from Duma, the Russian parliament. With the outbreak of WWI, Nicholas II hoped for the opportunity to raise his approval rating but the country was not ready for war. Amongst supply and food shortages, people began to protest again and Nicholas II finally agreed to abdicate. A moderate government was established and was still committed to the war, but Communists like Vladimir Lenin did not think the government went far enough. Another phase of revolution happened in November 1917 called the Bolshevik Revolution. This is when the first Communist government was established. After a Civil War, the Soviet Union fully rejected Capitalism and Lenin became the effective dictator of Russia.
