Question

what was the contribution of karl marx in beginning about the russian revolution of 1917. In 5 points

Answer 1

Since he died 30 years before the Russian Revolution, he obviously had no direct involvement.

But his ideas were very influential to Lenin, Stalin, and other leaders of the Bolshevik (later Communist) Party, but on what I’d call an “attitudinal” level, not with respect to any actual economic policies.

Marx wrote about and hoped for revolutions in industrialized economies, not in a mostly agricultural post-feudal economy like Russia. Actual policies were created and put in place by Lenin and Stalin under the “Marxist” banner, which to me was quite a stretch.
