I believe the name of this article should be changed[edit]
Currently, the name of this article is "Russian Revolution", I believe this name can be confusing as there were many Russian revolutions. I think it would be best if the article is renamed to "1917 Russian Revolution" to avoid confusion.

but what "1917 Russian Revolution" are we talking about? February or October Revolution? Because these two are two different revolutions, if October revolution should be considered as such.

The following statement should be elaborated on, explained better, or a source for it's claim should be provided: "This government was dominated by the interests of prominent capitalists"(...). This line occurs towards the top of this article. Who were these mentioned capitalists? What were their positions in or how did they otherwise relate to the provisional government? What were their interests and how did they impact the provisional government? Where can we find more information about their involvement should we wish to learn it? 2001:14BA:1F1:CE00:C973:BF0B:C5F4:82B7 (talk) 01:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
