Several early civilisations adopted the 365 day calendar. Notably the Ancient Egyptians. Certainly before 3000 BC
At the time of the revolution, the Russian Empire still was using the ancient Julian calendar, which had been discarded some 150 years earlier by most Western countries. The result was that each day in Russia was dated 13 days earlier than the same day in the West. According to the old calendar, the date of the Bolshevik revolution was October 25. But according to the new Gregorian calendar, the date actually was November 7. Only after the Bolsheviks established the Soviet Union did the country adopt the new calendar. So it was the Bolsheviks themselves who were responsible for changing the date of their October Revolution of October 25 to the national celebration November 7.
You probably wonder why do Russians Orthodox people celebrate Christmas on January 7th? Why not on December 25th?Well, the reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar, which is adopted by most countries in the world (and by the Russian government). When in the end of 1917 the Bolshevik government decided to adopt Gregorian calendar, the Russian Orthodox church decided not to follow the rules set by the incresingly oppresive civil authorities. Part of the reason was to protest against the Bolsheviks and their interference in church affairs. Another reason, perhaps, was to stick to the older rules, the ways in which generations of Russian Christians were praising the Lord, observing holidays, etc.
Britain and the British Empire (including the eastern part of what is now the United States) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752. Wednesday, 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752. In Alaska, the change took place when Friday, 6 October 1867 was followed again by Friday, 18 October after the US purchase of Alaska from Russia, which was still on the Julian calendar. France, which controlled the Louisiana Territory at times, adopted the Gregorian Calendar in 1582, as did Spain, which controlled the Louisiana Territory at other times, Florida, the US southwest and California.
