While many Russian soldiers were on the front during World War I, most of those who remained behind responded to the February Revolution by
leaving the cities to fight on the front:
firing into crowds of peaceful protestors.
joining the riots instead of stopping them.
breaking up the riots and restoring order.
The correct answer is: joining the riots instead of stopping them.
During the February Revolution in 1917, many Russian soldiers who returned or were stationed in cities were sympathetic to the protests against the Tsarist regime. Rather than suppress the unrest, they often joined the crowds, reflecting the widespread desire for change and dissatisfaction with the war and the monarchy. This lack of military support for the ruling authorities contributed significantly to the success of the revolution.
