Primary Source Analysis: The February Revolution

Source A: A Report from a Russian Worker

"The streets were filled with anger and despair. The workers and soldiers united, demanding bread, peace, and an end to the Tsar’s rule. The factories came to a halt, and barricades appeared everywhere. We knew that change was necessary, or our suffering would never end. The Tsar’s government was weak, and the people could no longer tolerate his rule." Provenance: A report written by a Russian factory worker, March 1917, published in a revolutionary newspaper.
