he Feburary Revolution in Petrograd

The February Revolution In Petrograd: In the winter of 1917, conditions in the capital, Petrograd, were awful. The layout of the city seemed to emphasise the divisions among its people. On the right bank of the river Neva, workers’ quarters and factories were located. On the left bank were the fashionable area i.e. the Winter Palace and official buildings, including the palace where the Duma met. In February 1917, there was acute shortage of food in Russia. The winter was very cold and the heavy snow and frost made the life of workers very difficult. Parliamentarians were opposed to the Tsar’s desire to dissolve the Duma. On 22nd February, a lockout took place at a factory on the right bank of the river Neva. The next day, fifty factories called a strike in sympathy. In many factories, women also led the way to strikes. This day came to be called International Women’s Day.
