Evaluate their impact on the Russian People: The Revolution freed the remaining serfs and gave them the land on which they worked, but the Civil war had broken out and the cities were starving.The Revolution allowed women to vote (albeit for only one party), to hold office, to initiate divorce proceedings and to have abortions on demand.
