Strictly speaking, Marx did not predict any revolution, at least according to the interpretation of his theories. Marx predicted a workers' revolution in the heavily industrialized nations like Germany and England, where the upper class was most oppressive of the lower class. The more industrialized countries were the most capitalistic and this capitalism had such internal flaws that it would destroy itself. At some point the working class would become so large and so downtrodden that it would rise up against the upper class. In Russia, where the first "communist" revolution occurred, the economy was primarily agrarian, rather than industrial. Therefore, Russia was never in Marx's sights as a potential true communist revolution. The Russian Revolution was a political revolution as opposed to a true Marxian economic revolution.
