We explain the causes of Tsar Nicholas II's growing unpopularity, the role of the mysterious Siberian mystic Rasputin, Russia's disastrous involvement in World War One, and the events on the streets of Petrograd that led to the Tsar's abdication. That summer Russia lurched from crisis to crisis, its Provisional Government facing riots, military revolt, economic chaos, and collapsing support. Socialist Prime Minister Alexander Kerensky, once hailed as Russia's great hope, was unable to restore order or prevent the Bolsheviks from launching a coup, organised by Leon Trotsky and led by Vladimir Lenin, that overthrow the Provisional Government in October. The Bolshevik seizure of power was followed by civil war, leading to the death of more than 10 million Russians - amongst them Tsar Nicholas II and his family, executed by Bolsheviks at Yekaterinburg in July 1918.\n
