A demonstration taking place at the time of the October Revolution

The Great October Socialist Revolution[a] was a socialist revolution led by the Bolsheviks which occurred on 7 November 1917[b] in Russia under the bourgeois Kerensky government. The revolution resulted in the formation of the Russian Soviet Republic and later the Soviet Union in 1922, the first long-lasting socialist state.

The October Revolution is considered a momentous turning point in world history in favor of the working class and socialist movement. It solidified and demonstrated the correctness of the theories of Vladimir Lenin and others which would later develop into the theory of Marxism–Leninism.[1]
