      The main cause for the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 was the governments failure to handle the war. No one was striking or in the streets because an SR killed another minister

        Main cause perhaps in 1917. But not only cause. You cant pretend that SR activity didn’t have an impact.

          The SRs did help to organize the country side and rally them for the revolution, but the peasants weren’t rallying because of there assassinations, they were joining because of there promise to expropriate the rich landlords and redistribute the land to the peasants. If another party came along promising land redistribution, but without the history of assassinations, the peasents would join it just as enthusiastically. As seen with Makhno and the anarchists.
