The first world war caused a lot of social instability which led to the revolution.

There is no one main reason for the Russian Revolution.

It's a critical combination of several reasons which caused it:

- Fast growing rural population which didn't have enough agricultural land (most country's land was possessed by the government and nobility landlords)

- Poor conditions of the urban working class

- Oppression of the educated ethnic minorities (especially Jews and Poles which became able leaders of the Revolution)

- Obsolete, authoritarian and ineffective political system which had a very narrow social base (nobility and large business owners) and alienated small business owners and the middle class

- Decline of the faith and moral norms due to the corruption of the Russian Orthodox Church and restrictions of religious freedom for other confessions

- Hardships of the World War I

- Millions of weapons available in the hands of the oppressed peasants and workers due to their conscription to the army

- Negligence and poor judgment of the last Tsar Nicholas II

All those reasons combined caused the Russian Revolution of 1917
