In regards to the third Russian revolution on October 25 (November 7, new style) 1917 the Moscow Bolsheviks, on receiving information from Petrograd (now is St. Petersburg) that the revolution had begun, immediately formed a revolutionary center for controlling the transfer of power to the Soviets.
Moscow was one of the centers of the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat in all three early 20-the century revolutions in Russia: in the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907, the February Revolution of 1917 and the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917.

 What happened during the Russian Revolution?
Unless you picture revolution as simply the changing of the party in power, you have to acknowledge that while the Bolshevik party did take power in Russian in November 1917, the net effect of this was not the stated goals that justified that action.
Voline, an active participant in 1917 Russian Revolution, used that expression as the title of his classic account of the Russian revolution.
This means that the revolution was not defeated primarily because of isolation or the effects of the civil war.

 Russian Revolution of 1917 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a series of political events in Russia, which, after the elimination of the Russian 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 Revolution) and the coup by which the Bolsheviks took power (October Revolution).
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 Russian Revolution in Colour!
The sailors of Kronstadt, “the backbone of the revolution” as a British historian hired by the filmmakers put it, were “crushed by the Red Army and their revolution, the third Russian revolution, was defeated”.
The Russian revolution took place in a backward country; the overwhelming majority of the population of the country were peasants, most were illiterate, and the level of technique and production was very low.
The Russian Revolution 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.
