"Communism," began in late October 1917 (Old Style calendar) during World War 1 after the Bolshevik Revolution. To be more accurate however, this form of government was actually socialism, not communism as Karl Marx saw it. Even the Bolsheviks/Communists understood this distinction at the time.

Russian "communism" began immediately after the October Russian Revolution which ended on October 26, 1917 (November 7, New Style). At this time, Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik Party had overthrown the Provisional Government and taken control. They instituted socialist economic measures to replace the capitalist ones. Russia was now communist in the political sense only, because it was now run by the Communist Party (the Bolsheviks changed their name to Communist in March 1918), but it was socialist in the economic sense.

Communism first started or developed in Russia after the end of World War 1. The embarrassing defeat in World War 1 caused those in power to switch from the monarchy to communism.

Communism is a classless stateless society based on production for use, and has clearly never existed in Russia. The Bolshevik capture of power in 1917 led to the establishment of state capitalism.
