The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 brought significant changes to Russia, leading to the establishment of a communist government under the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin. The revolution resulted in the overthrow of the provisional government that had replaced the Tsarist autocracy earlier that year. Key changes included the withdrawal from World War I, the nationalization of industry, and the redistribution of land to peasants. This revolution not only shifted the political landscape in Russia but also inspired communist movements worldwide, fundamentally altering global politics and paving the way for the establishment of the Soviet Union.
