@europeanfederalist.at: The October Revolution was a pivotal coup d'état in Russia that took place on November 6–7, 1917 (October 24–25 in the Julian calendar). Led by Vladimir Lenin and the radical Bolshevik Party, the insurrection overthrew the fragile Russian Provisional Government and established the world's first socialist state. This monumental event fundamentally reshaped global politics, catalyzed the Russian Civil War, and directly led to the creation of the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1922 #lenin #socialism #ussr #russia #History
