The French Revolution
"All I was doing was trying to keep Peeta and myself alive. Any act of rebellion was purely coincidental. But when the Capitol decrees that only one tribute can live and you have the audacity to challenge it, I guess that's a rebellion in itself. My only defense was pretending that I was driven insane by a passionate love for Peeta. So we were both allowed to live."
-Katniss
Katniss didn't realize the fault of her actions during her first Hunger Games. She thought she was doing what was best for both of them. That was as far ahead as she could see. But what she didn't realize was that by saving herself and Peeta, she made it seem as though she was a rebel working against the Capitol. This started a rebellion against the Capitol, and this angered the President, along with leaders in the Capitol.
In The Revolution of France, King Louis reign began to anger people because of his absolute control. People became so sick of it, and since they were not getting what they deserved, or in the movie, getting what they didn't deserve in a negative way, revolts began. People did not even care if it meant death. They wanted to make a point for others to see and understand.

The Russian Revolution
"What about the other families, Katniss? The ones who can't run away? Don't you see? It can't be about just saving us anymore. Not if the rebellion's begun!" Gale shakes his head, not hiding his disgust with me. "You could do so much." He throws Cinna's gloves at my feet. "I changed my mind. I don't want anything they made in the Capitol." And he's gone.
-Gale
It's Gale who helps Katniss realize that this problem is bigger than she is, and the solution has to be bigger than her small idea of running away. This isn't just a matter of getting small groups of people out from under the Capitol's dictatorship. It's about getting everyone out. "The rebellion's begun" which means now everyone's lives are at stake.
This can relate to how Russia acted in rebellion. People started to realize what was really, truly important.
