October Revolution, 1917. The Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia. The Bolsheviks knew that if they rose in the name of their party they would get only limited support, so they used the slogan ‘All power to the Soviets’, as this would be more popular. The people of Russia felt like they were being abused during the time of war. Five soldiers, one sailor and no defenders were killed.
