There never was a "communist revolution" in Russia, but a military coup!
The Febuary revolution was the true russian revolution in which a public uprising ended almoust 500 years of absolute monarchy and established a republic.
It was in October when under Trotzky the armed groups seized several key points of western russian cities.
Nah. It doesn't annoy me at all. In fact, I'm glad to learn more about what happened. It does explain a bit better why Russia didn't turn into the workers paradise it was supposed to have been; the military doesn't tend to care much for the working class.
He's right, and frankly it would have difficult for the Bolsheviks, because communism was much better represented in nations like Germany, France, and Italy, where industrialisation was going strong. What's more, Lenin had been exiled to Switzerland before the war, and only managed to train-ride back in time for the Bolshevik revolution.
Some believe it was the Czar's fault for heading the war himself. The populace blamed him for the failure, where as he could have stayed behind and the generals would have taken the fall.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
