Yugoslavia year 1967 stamps October revolution – Lenin ☀ MNH **
The October Revolution, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution, was a pivotal event in Russian history that led to the establishment of a communist government in Russia and the eventual creation of the Soviet Union. Vladimir Lenin played a central role in the October Revolution and its aftermath.
On October 25, 1917 (according to the Julian calendar used in Russia at the time, which corresponds to November 7 in the Gregorian calendar), the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, seized power in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) in a swift and largely bloodless coup. The Bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace, the seat of the provisional government, and effectively took control of the country.
Lenin’s leadership during the October Revolution and the early years of Soviet rule left a lasting impact on Russian and world history. He implemented policies such as the nationalization of industry, land redistribution, and the establishment of the Communist Party as the ruling party. However, Lenin’s government also faced internal and external challenges, including economic hardship, political dissent, and foreign intervention.
Overall, the October Revolution marked a profound shift in Russian politics and society, paving the way for the establishment of the world’s first communist state and shaping the course of 20th-century history.
