The people of Russia first revolted in early 1917. The revolution began when a number of workers decided to strike. Many of these workers got together during the strike to discuss politics. They began to riot. The Tsar, Nicholas II, ordered the army to suppress the riot. However, many of the soldiers refused to fire on the Russian people and the army began to mutiny against the Tsar.

Bolshevik (1920), by Boris Kustodiev.
The New York Times headline from 9 November 1917.
The October Revolution (Russian: Октя́брьская револю́ция, tr. Oktyabr'skaya revolyutsiya, IPA: [ɐkˈtʲabrʲskəjə rʲɪvɐˈlʲutsɨjə]), officially known in Soviet literature as the Great October Socialist Revolution (Вели́кая Октя́брьская социалисти́ческая револю́ция, Velikaya Oktyabr'skaya sotsialističeskaya revolyutsiya), and commonly referred to as Red October, the October Uprising, the Bolshevik Revolution,[3] or the Bolshevik Coup, was a revolution in Russia led by the Bolsheviks and Vladimir Lenin that was instrumental in the larger Russian Revolution of 1917. It took place with an armed insurrection in Petrograd on 7 November (25 October, Old Style) 1917.
The February revolution that removed Tsar Nicholas II from power, developed spontaneously out of a series of increasingly violent demonstration and riot on the street of Petrograd, during the time when the tsar was away from the capital visiting troops on the world war 1 front
October revolution (also called as Bolshevik revolution) overturned the interim provisional government and establish the Soviet Union.The Bolsheviks, who led this coup, prepared their coup in only six months. They were generally viewed as an extremist group. After october, the Bolshevik realized that they could not maintain power in an election based system without sharing power with other parties and their principles. As a result they formally abandoned the democratic process in january 1918 and declared themselves the representative of Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
