After considering it, I'd say the French Revolution, ultimately left the people in a better state. The Russian one brought about communism, and more people died over the years.Which Revolution left people better off, the French or Russian revolution?

The French Revolution, coming earlier, was an inspiration for the commoners and mif\ddle-classes in many other countries, and a source of fear to the rulers in othe countries. It was a model for the subsequent revolutions in USA, e.g. for how to set up a legislature, and to some extent was a model for democracy, though limited y social customs e.g. male sufferage.
The Russian Revolutions was desperately needed also, and although also there was much bloodshed and unrest as a result, the standard of living and life expectancy of the people were much more dramatically affected and more quickly than in France. Since Russia would not, in my opinion, without the ruthless power of Stalin, have managed to contribute the key factors in the defeat of Hitler, the West in general owes the Russian Revolutionaries a great deal, not that people from USA are likely to acknowedge this.Which Revolution left people better off, the French or Russian revolution?
The French Revolution removed the monarchy but it was replaced by a very ineffective government the wasted time on tribunals and lopping of heads rather than progressing prosperity and forming an effective form or representative government. The French sought to copy the American government the French fore fathers were not as capable as their American counterparts. Eventually Napoleon took command and under the code Napoleon %26quot;which still bear檚 weight in the French legal systems today%26quot; formed a Republic. After the Napoleonic wars and the reformation of the French republic the French people did benefit. But it is debatable during the post revolution - Napoleonic era to say the French populace benefited.
The Russian revolution on the other hand could not be considered to have bettered the Russian peoples. The revolution was extremely blooded, and after the revolution the resettlement and various purges could not have been a benefit to the majority of the population. The revolution did not benefit the average person other than the populace no longer being subject to a Czar of hereditary lineage being replaced by ruthless communist party dictatorship power struggle.
Both Luis XIV and Czar Nicholas III were weak leaders, not in touch with there populace. They were both internally and externally weak leaders.
Both governments were replaced by short lived revolutionary governments and both fell to a dictator. Both post revolution governments were unable to fulfill the ideals and desires of the revolution and the new governments that were formed was left the general population with little to no improvement over its predecessor.Which Revolution left people better off, the French or Russian revolution?
Both revolutions were needed, in that the people were in such great poverty, compared to the extreme opulence of the wealthy rulers and nobility, and suffered from weak and inept leadership -- an unjust situation. Both revolutions began in a similar way, a violent overthrow, mob riots and looting, and the monarchs imprisoned and then killed.
Long term, the French Revolution left the people better off -- after Napoleon, France became a democratic / social republic, and the people have prospered under a government with elected officials, similar to the U.S. government. The Russian Revolution led to Communism / Socialism, a completely opposite form of government from democracy and capitalism. Stalin brought many years of terror and murdered millions of his own people as well as those of neighboring countries that the Soviets conquered.
