from what i know, the Russian Revolution was the overthrow of Czar Nicholas the 2nd by Trotsky and Stalin. i’ll add more if i find any more, but i remember that Czar Nicholas was an awful ruler, refusing to listen to his subjects.
the story is explained well by the story Animal Farm.
What do you think? Answer below!

the ruler was called a Tsar or sometimes spelled Czar. The Tsar had total power over all of Russia. At this time the Tsar was Nicolas II. He wasn't very good at his job, and there were definatly some not so good stuff happening under his rule. But he was a really good man and he loved the Russian people. But Russia got into WWI. the war dragged on a lot longer then it was expected to.
Nicolas's son the Tsarevich Alexei (heir to the trown) had hemophilia (a diease that provents blood from clotting) he could die from a small scratch. He was in so much pain so often because of inturnal bleeding. his parents found a man how could help him. he was a peasant named Rasputin. he lessend Alexei's pain by praying over him. The Tsar and his wife kept Alexei's disease a secret from the people of Russia because they didn't want them to worry, so the people didn't know why Rasputin was around the royal family. The russians were confused and upset to see this dirty man with the royal family. They thought he was trying to get power and that he was using the Tsar. The people were mad at Nicolas for allowing Rasputin to have power.
It also didn't help Nicolas's popularity any that the war was lasting so long and costing so many lives.
a group called the Bolsheviks took advantage of this weak time and imprisoned and brutally executed the Tsar and his family.
as for the class system. there was a really big wealth gap. there were a lot of really really poor pesants and some really rich people.
You have probably seen or heard of the animated movie Anastasia. It is about Nicolas's youngest daughter. But its bull crap. Anastasia died with the rest of her family.
But their actually story is very interesting, you should check it out. Anastasia gets a lot of attention cuz there was a rumor she survived but she didn't and I think she's awfully annoying. Check out her sisters (Olga, Tatiana, and Marie) or her darling little brother.
their last name is Romanov.

monarchy
hard to say, first russia was like american indians, several different small groups. Peter the Great unifed the country so i would say he was the first ruler.
Czar Nicolas was throwing money left and right leaving the people angry. he tries to keep the rebellion down but couldnt.
peasant and royal
the people
