Yes, It was based off the ideas of Karl Marx and Communism
EDIT:
The second Russian Revolution, the November of Bolshevik Revolution, was to instate communism. The first, the March Revolution, was to force the czar out of power and create a democracy.

∙ 13y agoi think it was. and then the dictator who took over during that time got greedy, and wanted more control then was necessary.
It absolutely was not a true communist revolution. Karl Marx foresaw the "communist" revolution as one that would occur when the workers in a country united and took over the means of production away from the people who owned and controlled them. In other words it would be a social class or economic revolution.
The Bolshevik revolution in October 1917 was simply a political revolution where a small political party took over the government from people who ran the existing government. In fact the Bolshevik Revolution was more like a military coup than a true revolution at all.

∙ 13y agoIn a word, no. Marx believed in a Proletarian revolution where the working class seized power for themselves. Although the Bolsheviks had a lot of support from the working class, the fact that the working class were not the ones to take power means that it was not a Proletarian revolution. Also, later when Stalin came into power, he treated the working class very poorly, forcing them onto state-owned farms, liquidating their land and livestock, and causing widespread famine.

What is the Connection between the Industrial Revolution and Karl Marxs Communist Manifesto?
During the industrial revolution, factory workers, owners and merchants created a class system. Believing that the class system was unfair, Karl Marx wrote his manifesto detailing the uprising of the proletariate (or lower, working class, mostly from industrial factories) therefore destroying the bourgeoise (upper middle class) and the class system altogether. Also, the main purpose of all members of a communist society is to work industrially for the good of all of the community- this explains why communism is meant to work best in an industrial society.
What were 3 criticisms of Karl marxs theory of Communism?
1. It failed to explain how money gets that way - which Henry Miller later explained in his classic essay, "Money And How It Gets That Way." 2. It did not take into account the fact that the majority of people are greedy, illiterate slack-jawed ridge runners with the moral instincts of rutting bandicoots, and that consequently Communism was bound to fail because there would always be Communist bosses (Commissars) who would skim the cream off everything and treat the workers like yellow dogs - treat them in fact worse than the Czar did. 3. There were no jokes or illustrations in it, and no dirty parts.
Why didn't Marxs predictions occur?
Marx's predictions, thus far, have been very accurate.Wage competition and the control of the means of production, as well as increased mechanization of traditionally human-held labor, leads to the widespread misery of the majority with the sole enrichment of a small minority.Where Marx was wrong: Revolution. Marx, toward the end of his life, believed that an immediate revolution was necessary to stop inevitable collapse and free workers from the oppression of the state and of wage competition. It is important to remember that Marx was alive when the world was plagued with widespread slavery, and women were treated as property. In this context it is understandable that he would find that his "inevitable revolutions" were moving too slowly.He did however predict that the revolution against the aforementioned causes of decay were inevitable. In the light of the recent financial meltdown, he appears to have been correct here.
