How Did The Bolsheviks Occur During The Russian Revolution

November 9th, 1917 During the Russian Revolution in 1917, a successful party called the Bolsheviks came to power. The Bolsheviks were born out of Russia’s social democratic party led by Vladimir Lenin. The Bolshevik party obtained power by total drive of character and the support of the disappointed soldiers, sailors, peasants and factory workers who were organized into Soviets. They grabbed the support of these various social classes by making promises such as: giving land and power to the peasants and they would improve working conditions and lifestyles of those who worked in the industrial cities. The Bolsheviks would rise to the occasion and succeed because of their leader Lenin. Lenin believed that a leader of the working class had to
It focuses more on the detail that Kerensky and Korniloff did to prevent the uprising of the Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution. Food crisis continue in Russia and the provisional government begins to lose power. I think one of the things that portrayed Russia really well in this article is when they state “ Evidently in response to pressure from this quarter M. Kerensky told an American Journalist that Russia was worn out.” This quote from the news article pretty much summed up in the situation Russia was in. There were numerous protest and riots, as well as the soldiers and working people turning against the government.

All militant personnel pledged themselves to the Bolsheviks at this time due to the fact that they believed that Kerensky and the government were going to surrender it to the Germans. This resulted in the storming of the winter palace. In the article it says,” The maximalists under Lenin have deposed the Kerensky government and have assumed office,” It tells us that Russian government was now under new control, the Bolsheviks. The news article goes on telling us that that any military officers who do not join the movement will be arrested and moved from the front of Petrograd. I think that the newspaper presented the revolution as just another world crisis because the way the article continues and goes on to talk about other things happening in other countries as a result of the revolution. I think the news about the revolution is important because it is informative about the world outside of Great Britain. The article differed from the Perry text because in the article is focuses mainly on the revolution in Petrograd versus the Perry text that talks about the other areas that are affected by the Bolshevik
