World War 1
We are all aware of WWI details - recap ?
Heading into WWI, Russia was unaware of what we now can see in hindsight, this is important to
remember! All the problems within Russia were put aside and a relatively united Russia went to war.
St Petersburg changed her name to Petrograd to avoid Russia having a German sounding city

Russian Battles Eastern Front .... successes & losses
Many men little artillery
Attempt to invade Prussia (east and south), meet up to take on Berlin, lack of technology enabled
German interception and massive ambush
Some victories maintained enthusiasm (Drawing German troops from Western Front, Southern
Galicia, Brusilov retreat of Austrian Army
Steady fall of Russian men was catastrophic and the increase of German soldiers on the Eastern Front lead to great loss of land won in previous
victories (Brusilov)
Tsar ‘umming’ and ‘arhing’ losing faith of his Army

Brusilov Offensive
> Named after General Brusilov > One of the few Russian successes in WWI > Managed to save Austria > Gave some hope in the faith of Russian Military however not great enough to mask the overall losses

June Offensive - Kerensky Offensive
“For the sake of the nation’s life it was necessary to restore the army’s will to die” Kerensky
Kerensky and Brusilov lead an attack on the Southwestern Front in June
Russian soldiers were unprepared (weapons and skill/training)
Russian costs were massive and with military mutiny no words of
wisdom would help

July Days
Attempt by Soviets to take power over provisional
government but was quickly dismissed by Kerensky
This failure weakened the Bolsheviks but not
completely
Historian’s debate the significance of the July Days on Bolshevik power
