The February Revolution began in Russia following a dispute over wages at the Putilov factories in St. Petersburg. On February 23rd, workers, demanding an increase in their pay, produced a locomotive.

This sparked demonstrations that quickly spread throughout the city and subsequently across the entire country. A photograph depicts a protest in Irkutsk, Siberia, during the revolution.
