	history: February revolution 1917 - what lessons for today?
		One of the most vital lessons of the February revolution and its aftermath is that had the leaders of the most conscious workers' party at that stage, the Bolsheviks (the majority), pursued the policies of the workers' leaders today, no Russian revolution would have taken place.
		One of the unmistakable features of a revolution is the direct intervention of the mass of the working class and the poor - usually discontented but forced into submission by capitalism in 'normal' periods - in determining their own fate.
		The February revolution was, in effect, the beginning of the socialist revolution in Russia and worldwide.

		February Revolution 1848, French revolution that overthrew the monarchy of Louis Philippe and established the Second Republic.
		General dissatisfaction resulted partly from the king's increasingly reactionary policy, carried out after 1840 by François Guizot, and partly from the poor conditions of the working class, which were intensified by the economic crisis of 1846-47.
		The February revolution set off revolutions in most European nations, but, as in France, the movement failed virtually everywhere (see revolutions of 1848).

	The Russian Revolution of February 1917: The Question of Organisation and Spontaneity
		To say, as Chamberlin does, that the February revolution was spontaneous, leaderless and anonymous implies that the whole episode came about by chance, and that the elements of planning and organisation were absent.
		The problem with the February revolution was there was no credit in it to be had for any of the current Bolshevik leadership, because none of them had been present in Petrograd at the time.
		That meant that when Chamberlin wrote his book on the Russian revolution in the 1930s the consensus among the sources he used was that the February revolution had no identifiable leaders, and he duly conveyed this conclusion to his readership.

	February revolution 1917 - what lessons for today
		The representatives of big business today and their hirelings in the universities, the superficial professors of 'history', either ignore this great event or seek to prove that February was the 'real' Russian revolution which 'went off the rails' and ended in the 'putsch' of October 1917.
