What happened during the Russianb> Revolutionb>?

Russianb> Revolutionb> of 1917 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Russianb> Revolutionb> of 1917 was a series of political events in Russia, which, after the elimination of the Russianb> autocracy system, and the Provisional Government (Duma), resulted in the establishment of the Soviet power under the control of the Bolshevik party.
1917 saw two distinct Revolutions in Russia: the overthrow of the tsarist regime (February Revolutionb>) and the coup by which the Bolsheviks took power (October Revolutionb>).
On November 7, 1917, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin led his leftist revolutionaries in a nearly bloodless revolt against the ineffective Provisional Government (Russia was still using the Julian Calendar at the time, so period references show an October 25 date).

The sailors of Kronstadt, “the backbone of the revolutionb>” as a British historian hired by the filmmakers put it, were “crushed by the Red Army and their revolutionb>, the third Russianb> revolutionb>, was defeated”.

The Russianb> Revolutionb> in Colour doesn’t deal with the nature of the Constituent Assembly and the forces in conflict within it as a reflection of the conflicting forces during the revolutionary process; it doesn’t speak about these forces&; reactions when the Bolsheviks dissolved the Constituent Assembly, or if anybody defended it.
