October Revolution 1917 || Roman and Dmitry
The October Revolution was an armed uprising that took place on the night of October 25–26 (November 7–8, New Style), 1917, in Petrograd. It was organized by the Bolsheviks, a party led by Vladimir Lenin, to overthrow the Provisional Government, which had come to power after the February Revolution.
Causes of the Revolution: World War I: the country is exhausted, millions of soldiers are dying, the economy is collapsing. Poverty and famine: peasants are landless, workers receive pennies.Distrust of the Provisional Government: people are tired of promises and unrest.
* Summer 1917: The Provisional Government is unable to cope with the situation; uprisings break out, the front collapses.
*October:** The Bolsheviks create the **Military Revolutionary Committee** and begin preparations for a coup.
* **Night of October 25-26:** Red Guards under Trotsky occupy key facilities—the telegraph office, train stations, bridges.
* **Storming of the Winter Palace:** a symbolic moment—the Provisional Government is arrested, power passes to the Soviets.
After the victory: the Civil War (1917–1922) begins between the "Reds" (Bolsheviks) and the "Whites" (monarchists, officers of the Imperial Army, liberals, etc.).Ultimately, the Bolsheviks won, and the Soviet Union emerged in place of the Russian Empire.
Inside all these events, there are two brothers who are ready to kill each other and are about to do so if they are not stopped
