The Russian Revolution was a period of political and social change in Russia that began in 1917, during which Russia abolished its monarchy and adopted a socialist form of government following two successive revolutions and a civil war. It was inaugurated by the February Revolution of 1917, in the midst of the First World War, and historians consider the revolutionary period to have ended in 1922, when the civil war concluded with the defeat of the White Army and separatist factions, prompting mass emigration from Russia. The revolution extended Soviet power beyond Russia proper, establishing it in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelorussia, Georgia and Ukraine.
