The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world.

In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.

The massive influence of the Russian revolution on the years between 1917 and now are unquestionable. It led to:
