However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following general terms.

Russian peasants would have been excited upon hearing about the Russian Revolution in that this represented an opportunity to demand equity, justice, and rights in a time when the Russian tsars were cruel, despotic, and lived lavishly when peasants were very poor and hungry.

One of the most important causes of the Russian Revolution of 1917 was that peasants and working-class people revolted against the government of Tsar Nicholas II, led by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks who were a group of revolutionaries. The result of the revolution generated what was known as the Soviet Union. Economic crises and hunger were also detonators.
