Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hunger had led to revolution. The Russian people had become disillusioned with the ruling Romanov dynasty and their government. Many people, especially supporters of the socialist Bolsheviks, thought the tsar and his court had too much wealth and power while the people had none.
Detailed explanation-2: -The peasants’ unwillingness to sell grain in wartime led to deepening food crises that directly affected domestic politics. The shortage of food in St Petersburg and persistent bread queues in the city in the winter of 1916/17 triggered the events of February 1917, leading to the overthrow of the monarchy.
