Bolshevik Revolution

The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was a major turning point in history because

• Russia became the First Nation with a communist economic system.

• the royal family was exiled to Mexico.

• Russia caused to be an important force in world affairs.

• It was the last revolution in the 20th century.

A key principle of the economic theory of communism is

• restoration of a bartering system

• government ownership of property

• privatisation of business

• organization of the workers' unions.

A major reason many Russian people supported the Bolshevik in the November 1017 revolution was that the Bolsheviks called for

• the collectivisation of agriculture.

• the abolition of all religion

• an immediate peace settlement with Germany.

• a heavy investment in industry.

". . . The replacement of the bourgeois by the

proletarian state is impossible without a violent revolution.

The abolition of the proletarian state, i.e., of all states, is

only possible through 'withering away.' . . ."
