Russian revolutionary
The Russian Revolution was a major political upheaval in 1917 that ended centuries of Tsarist rule and led to the overthrow of the monarchy. Driven by widespread dissatisfaction with poverty, war, and political oppression, revolutionary groups, especially the Bolsheviks, sought to establish a socialist government. They successfully seized power, culminating in the October Revolution, and eventually created the Soviet Union. This revolution profoundly changed Russia’s society, economy, and international relations, influencing global politics and inspiring communist movements worldwide.
