It was a series of events starting in a revolution in 1905. During 1917 there were two major events, February 1917 – which was an unplanned "People's Revolution" and in October 1917 which was an organised revolution led by Lenin and Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was not a dictator at the time. Russia was ruled by the Romanov family until 1917 when a provisional government took hold. It was not until the 1920s when Stalin came into power.
