The Lenin Bolsheviks won, not because it was the most popular!! The Red Terror of Lenin’s secret police gradually spread Communism over all regions of the Russian Empire; Ukraine, Crimea, and many other ethnic provinces tried to declare themselves “Independent.” By sheer power and force, the Bolshevik’s systematically seized land, killed rivals, from 1917 through the Russian Civil War that followed. Famine, disease 1918–1922 killed over 5 million people; the Civil War killed 10 million, mostly civilian deaths. Russian falsification simplified and glorified the Russian Revolution.
