Thesis
As Research suggest the success of the Russian Revolution depends on one's perspective. In the book Animal Farm, George Orwell shares his "British" perspective of the Russian Revolution which varies from that told in American History books and that told by others from different countries.

Allan, Tony.The Russian Revolution. Hinemann Library:
Chicago, Illinois,2003.
In this book so things that I found striking was how they use to treat people back then and specialy woman. "Tied together in a chain, woman hauled a barge along the Volga River."(pg.7). The people that were poor if they had a house it was six to a room and others slept on planks of wood besides their machines at factories were they work. Also because of the conditions only 5% of the population could read or write.

QQC
Quote:"The doomed dynasty:Nicholas, Alexandra, their four daughters, and the hemophiliac heir to the throne, Alexis" (which yes is a guy)
Question: Why was Rasputin the only person that was able to help Alexis with his hemophiliac and how did this affect Russia?
Comment: Why was Rasputin the only person that could help with Alexis's hemophiliac, we still don't know to this day. When Rasputin was helping with Alexis he became close to Nicholas which gave him lots of power, he influenced there decisions a lot. He even was able to have government ministers and army generals replaced with people that were loyal to him. That is why he was such a great influence on Russia.
