Shortly after the start of WWI, Russia revolted against their czar. They had just entered WWI and were being destroyed by the Germans, They lost almost 5,000,000 men by 1916. They were short on both food and weaponry. They were also still a big farming country. There weaponry was no match for german machine guns. A man named Vladimier Lenin lead the Boshevik, or communist part to overthrough czar Nicholas II to take Russia out of the world war. They gave up a small chunk of land to german to do so though. The Boshevik had a motto 'Peace Land and Bread" which meant they wanted out of WWI they wanted land for farming and they wanted bread to eat.
