Power always clouds the human mind, and when desire triumphs over reason, a dragon-slaying warrior can turn into a malevolent dragon.
This cycle plays out in every country and at every point in time. As long as humans exist, it is a topic that can never be avoided.
Starting from the end of October, political parties led by the Workers' Alliance began to distribute a portion of grain to those workers who could not afford food. The requirement was that these workers had to sign a declaration against the Russian Government.
Under normal circumstances, even if enduring hunger, most workers would not sign such a declaration.
If caught by the government, the signatories would bring about a catastrophe not only for themselves but also for their whole family and loved ones.
But now, things are different. If there is no more food aid, these workers and their families will starve to death.
It's a choice between starving to death now or possibly being discovered by the government in the future, and most intelligent people know what to choose.
Under the instigation of these political parties, tens of thousands of workers signed the declaration against the government, and they had no choice but to stand with these parties.
As time moved into early November 1916, Nicholas II successfully completed his large-scale purge, and Saint Petersburg regained its previous order.
The seizure of a massive amount of capitalist wealth provided Nicholas II and the Tsarist Government with large amounts of funds and supplies. Nicholas II generously distributed a small portion of the supplies to the people of Saint Petersburg.
If carried out immediately after the purge, this act might have won some public sentiment. But unfortunately, it's too late now. Apart from the workers who signed the declaration against the government and were coerced by the parties, it was impossible to return to their previous calm lives.
A crisis even more chaotic than the previous large demonstrations is about to erupt, and Nicholas II, who is currently complacent, has no idea.
The failure of the previous demonstrations made the reactionary forces clearly aware that mere moderate demonstrations would not change government policy.
Faced with dissatisfaction over Nicholas II's recent purge, after careful consideration, the Bolshevik Party and other political parties decided to launch an armed uprising to forcefully overthrow this savage and brutal government.
On November 7, 1916, thousands of workers forcibly occupied the armory in Saint Petersburg, seizing a large amount of guns and ammunition from the armory.
Because the purge had just ended, Nicholas II and the Russian upper echelons were very satisfied with the results of the purge, and they had long relaxed their vigilance over the order in Saint Petersburg.
For a large country like Australasia, with a considerable amount of colonies and territories, the collapse of the colonial system was not good news.
Therefore, weakening the power of this country that has yet to be established has become necessary.
On November 9, 1916, a huge tide of rebellion besieged the manor where Nicholas II resided.
This manor was guarded by thousands of soldiers, enough to ensure the safety of Nicholas II under normal circumstances.
But now, facing tens of thousands of besieging people, all Nicholas II could hope for was support from his allies and reinforcement from front-line troops.
The thing that worried Nicholas II the most happened. There was a military mutiny inside the manor, and although not successful, it reduced the combat effectiveness of the guards greatly.
After two days of continuous besiege, the manor was finally conquered by the rebels, and Nicholas II and his royal family members were arrested by the rebels with pale faces.
Although the rebellion in Russia was successfully carried out, the current situation in Russia was not as smooth as it appeared on the surface.
The rebel forces in Russia were actually still split into two factions. The more powerful faction was the Workers Alliance formed by the Bolsheviks and other workers' parties.
This faction advocates the establishment of a completely democratic republic and the removal of the monarchy that has existed in Russia for thousands of years.
As for the other faction, it was dominated by big landlords and capitalists in Russia. The capitalists had been weakened before, so this faction was weaker than the workers' class.
But the bourgeoisie feared the working class even more than they feared the previous Tsarist government because the workers and the bourgeoisie are naturally oppositional. The bourgeoisie represents exploitation, while the workers started the rebellion in order to resist exploitation.
Out of fear of being punished by the working class in the future, the bourgeoisie opposed the abolition of the monarchy and advocated the establishment of a constitutional monarchy to transfer power to the parliament, where all political parties would compete fairly.
The proposal of the bourgeoisie was soon opposed by the working class. Most of the bourgeoisie were grand nobles and capitalists, and although their power was weak, they had much more capital than the working class. Explore stories on M V L
If they only compete in parliament, as long as the bourgeoisie is willing to splash money, the working class would never be able to compete with the bourgeoisie.
This was tantamount to giving power to the bourgeoisie. It not only violated the original intention of the working class to start the rebellion but also contrary to the desire of some workers' alliance parties to gain power.
