Question

1)Should the Russian government commemorate the centennial of the Russian Revolution?

2)  If a “revolution” merely replaces one authoritarian system with another, is it still a revolution? Is it still a turning point in history?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Russian Revolution paved the way for the rise of communism as an influential political belief system around the world. It set the stage for the rise of the Soviet Union as a world power that would go head-to-head with the United States during the Cold War.
