Sorry, it is not coral marks, it is actually Karl Marks.
Karl Marks could be considered the intellectual and philosophical leader of the Russia Revolution. Although he had died long before the revolution but it was his ideas along with Friedrich Engels that sparked the political movements to overthrow the capitalist and autocratic government that was in power in 1917 in Russia. His ideas on the evils of capitalism, the need to overthrow it in favor of Socialism and the eventual conversion of Socialism into Communism led many to believe that the forms of government in power in many industrialized countries had to be replaced.
These Marxist thoughts led to the creation of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP), whose members advocated the overthrow of capitalism in favor of Socialism. One faction of this party was Bolshevik Party led by Vladimir Lenin. When the first Russian Revolution occurred in February 1917, the Marxist RSDLP and other government parties (socialist and non-socialist) came together to form the provisional government. By that time in Russia, the workers, soldiers and peasants were not content to remain under a capitalist system. Lenin took advantage of it and used Marxist ideologies to convince the people that a Marxist system led by him and the Bolsheviks would be better than a capitalist system led by the minister of the former government. Using Marxist propaganda, Lenin engineered the Bolshevik/Communist Revolution in 1917.
Although the Russian Revolution was headed by Vladimir Lenin but the mind and idea behind it, was of Karl Marx.
