Petrograd Soviet

The Petrograd Soviet was a powerful group of workers and soldiers in Russia during the 1917 Revolution. Formed in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), it represented the interests of the working class and played a key role in challenging the established government. The Soviet aimed to provide a voice for the people, advocating for better working conditions and social reforms. It became increasingly influential, particularly as the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, gained support. Ultimately, the Petrograd Soviet helped shape the political landscape of Russia, contributing to the rise of the Soviet regime and the end of imperial rule.
