Abstract

The article analyzes the causes of the Russian Revolution. The author shows that the main cause of the revolution was the Malthusian crisis. The increase in population led to the fragmentation of peasant holdings and reduce consumption to the level of starvation. A series of peasant uprisings ended with the uprising of the peasants-soldiers in Petrograd in February 1917. The author criticizes historians who called revolution as an “accident”. 

Keywordsthe peasant land hunger, falling consumption, Malthusianism, peasant uprising, the revolution of 1905, the WWI, the February revolution of 1917
