The 1905 Russian Revolution was only partly a failure because it was successful at enacting political change in Russia. The 1906 Fundamental Laws created a new constitutional monarchy and granted some civil liberties to the population. However, the Duma had 2 houses, only one of which was elected, contrary to what was stated in the October Manifesto. Furthermore, for more radical groups such as the Socialist Revolutionaries and Communists, the political change was only minor, and still had the Tsar at the top of Russia's government. Ultimately, the Russian Imperial Army was still loyal to the Tsar, and this meant that he could put down insurgencies through force and halt revolutionary activities. This demonstrated his continued forceful control of Russia.
