Question: What happened when the man who ruled Valentin Tomberg's country of citizenship, during the first world war, was removed from power?

<P0-S0> The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. <P0-S1> In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire. <P0-S2> Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. <SEP> <P1-S0> His rule ended with the Russian Revolution. <P1-S1> Nicholas was killed on 17 July 1918. <P1-S2> Nicholas II -- last Czar of Russia, titular King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland. <SEP> <P2-S0> His parents were Lutheran, the mother was a Russian and the father an Estonian of German origin, he was an official in the Tsarist government. <P2-S1> As an adolescent, Tomberg was drawn to Theosophy and the mystical practices of Eastern Orthodoxy. <P2-S2> In 1917 he was initiated into Hermetic Martinism by Prof. G. O. Mebes. <P2-S3> He also discovered the works of Rudolf Steiner. <P2-S4> Valentin Tomberg was born on March 11, 1900 (February 27 in the Old Russian Julian calendar) in St. Petersburg, Russia. <P2-S5> In 1920, Tomberg fled with his family to Tallinn in Estonia, where, searching for his mother who had left the house, he discovered her with her dog tied to a tree, both shot by Communist revolutionaries. <P2-S6> Tomberg worked as a nurse at a hospital, in a pharmacy, on a farm and in the Tallinn Central Post Office. <P2-S7> He studied languages and comparative religion at the University of Tartu in Estonia. <SEP> <P3-S0> when world war ii broke out in 1939, bergmann sought to join the south african army, but as he felt his name was too german-sounding (there was significant anti-german feeling as the war loomed, and as the nazi persecution of the jews and the holocaust had not yet happened, this feeling made no distinction between germans and german jews), he removed the second "n" from his name, adopting the dutch variation of the surname. <SEP> <P4-S0> the rohingya people have consistently faced human rights abuses by the burmese regime that has refused to acknowledge them as burmese citizens (despite some of them having lived in burma for over three generations)—the rohingya have been denied burmese citizenship since the enactment of a 1982 citizenship law. <P4-S1> the law created three categories of citizenship: citizenship, associate citizenship, and naturalised citizenship. <P4-S2> citizenship is given to those who belong to one of the national races such as kachin, kayah (karenni), karen, chin, burman, mon, rakhine, shan, kaman, or zerbadee. <P4-S3> associate citizenship is given to those who cannot prove their ancestors settled in myanmar before 1823, but can prove they have one grandparent, or pre-1823 ancestor, who was a citizen of another country, as well as people who applied for citizenship in 1948 and qualified then by those laws. <P4-S4> naturalized citizenship is only given to those who have at least one parent with one of these types of burmese citizenship or can provide "conclusive evidence" that their parents entered and resided in burma prior to independence in 1948. the burmese regime has attempted to forcibly expel rohingya and bring in non-rohingyas to replace them—this policy has resulted in the expulsion of approximately half of the 800,000 rohingya from burma, while the rohingya people have been described as "among the world's least wanted" and "one of the world's most persecuted minorities." <P4-S5> but the origin of ‘most persecuted minority’ statement is unclear.
