I’m assuming that you mean why did the people hate the Tsar? And why did the Provisional Government fail, not why people hated Russia. I also take it that you mean the October revolution, not February Revolution. I think that the most important reasons for the Bolshevik’s success can be summed up as external and internal factors: External factors: The 1905 Revolution – Russia’s first steps towards a constitutional monarchy was more or less snuffed out after the Tsar dissolved the First State Duma. The following Dumas were politically neutered and had very little real power. The February Revolution was swamped by the the October Revolution because it lacked democratic legitimacy. The Provisional Government was the re-constituted last State Duma. It refused an election to a promised interim government – the Constituent Assembly – saying that Russia would hold elections after the war. The Petrograd Soviet was seen by many as a genuinely democratic institution, as it’s members were elected
