Marx made no direct contribution, he had been dead for many years. However Lenin and the other Bolsheviks were his followers and used his ideas as their guide in establishing the government and culture of the Soviet state.
Russia didn't exist during this time... Obviously...and there are no such thing as soldiers, especially not in Europe innand around wwi

Well, he'd been dead for around two decades when the revolution happened, but he couldn't complain. It could be considered the proletariat revolution he predicted in his Communist Manifesto.

While I am not a Communist, the historical significance of the Russian Revolution is beyond any doubt. While democratic countries like Britain and America granted civil liberties, the workers' condition was pathetic-long working hours and low wages. Earlier, the elitist government supported the capitalists in full but later to counter the Communist challenge, took to mass welfare schemes. The Russian Revolution under Lenin against the Czarist autocracy highlighted the importance of socioeconomic equality, and therefore opposed imperialism also. Moreover, the Russian Revolution was responsible for the spread of laudible but not plausible Communist ideas. Finally, the Russian Revolution gave birth to the Soviet Union, a superpower before its collapse in 1991.
The Mongols played a significant role in Russian history through repeated conquests over the course of several centuries. Rather than settling in conquered lands, the Mongols would force Russian noblemen to pay tributes to them regularly. Most of Russia's history from this time revolves around the impact of the Mongol invaders.
There was a lot of terror around because people were scared of going without food and not having enough money to pay for things
The best communist leader in history is often considered to be Vladimir Lenin. He was the founder of the Soviet Union and played a key role in the Russian Revolution of 1917. Lenin is praised for his leadership in establishing a socialist state and implementing policies that aimed to improve the lives of the working class. His ideas and strategies have had a lasting impact on communist movements around the world.
The Russian people (Russian: русские, russkiye) are an East Slavic ethnic group native to Russia,[35] speaking the Russian language and primarily living in Russia and neighboring countries.The English term Russians is also used to refer to the citizens of Russia, regardless of their ethnicity;[36] the demonym Russian is translated into Russian as rossiyanin(россиянин, plural rossiyane), while the ethnic Russians are referred to as russkiye (sg. русский, russkiy).According to the 2010 census, ethnic Russians make up about 81% of the population of Russia.[2]
History coursebooks in high school usually have chapters about French and Russian Revolutions. Some chapters regarding Nazism and World War II are also there. But what is it in these topics that make them essential for the study of European (or say world) history? I think that is related to the influence, these incidents had on the entire world.French Revolution: It not only had a long-term impact on French perception of politics, society, religion and ideas, but also introduced the idea of liberalism to the world. Many countries were affected by the ideas coming from the revolution. Neighboring European countries were directly affected due to revolutionary wars that followed. Many colonies around the globe were also influenced by the idea of liberalism and nationalism and gained independence in coming centuries.Russian Revolution: It introduced the idea of socialism. This was the start of the making of USSR influenced by the ideas of socialism.
Revolution in this context has come to mean some governmental system is turned around to be radically different to what went on before. The American Revolution, The French Revolution, The Russian Revolution all produced systems which were radically different to whatever went before. A common feature of all those was a replacement of Monarchy by a Republic, which is a very different system of government. The English Revolution (Cromwell) was aborted by the Restoration of the King.
