Why did the people in central Asia responded to the Russian revolution in different ways?

Dear student,

​​​​​​Here is the answer:

The Kirghiz, Turkic-speaking people of Central Asia, welcomed the February Revolution with joy as this revolution freed them from the oppression of the Tsars and strengthened their hope that they would gain freedom.

The October Revolution on the other hand brought terror. It was accompanied by violence, robbery, taxes and the establishment of dictatorial power.

Regards

Dear Student, 

There is no answer to why the people of Central Asia responded differently to the Russian revolution. They were all part of the Russian Empire under the Tsar. It was a simple matter of the Bolshevik government in Moscow taking over these Central Asian parts of the Russian Empire. The people of Central Asia were not even given a chance to respond. Their territories were just taken over by the Bolsheviks with the help of local agents and incorporated into the Soviet Union.

Regards.
