How were the people of the working class treated during the Russian revolution?

Answer 1

The Civil War wiped out all opposition to the Bolshevik rule that was established in the October Revolution. Right after the revolution, the Bolshevik's grip on power was still shaky with even other Marxist organizations opposed to them. By winning the Civil War the Bolsheviks eliminated both political and military opposition to what they were doing and firmly entrenched them in power.

Answer 2

The working class, or proletariat, initially were at the center of the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Unfortunately, power struggles from within ended with the Politburo, and later a dictator running the country instead of the workers.

Workers were vital to the March 1917 revolution that brought down the Tsar and created the Provisional and democratic government.

Answer 3

They were treated as instruments, they produced not for the benefit of themselves but for the state.
