Answer:
The aftermath of the October Revolution was the beginning of the Russian Civil War, which lasted from 1917-1922, with the Bolshevik Red Army triumphing over the White Army. Once securely in power, Lenin enacted decrees that laid the groundwork for Russia becoming the world's first Communist country. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was created in December of 1922. All Russian banks were nationalized and private accounts were confiscated, Church property was seized, all foreign debt was abandoned, and control of factories was given to the government, as well as, all privately held lands. The lasting effects of the October Revolution and the Russian Revolution was the beginning of Russia as a Communist country.
