What was the significance of the Russian Revolution?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The importance revolving around the Russian Revolution is seen in many different factors. For one, Russia was able to modernize much faster when Bolshevism kicked in. Russia's entire political spectrum shifted to the left, and the way things were run in Russia was changed. For long term effects, after Lenin's death, Bolshevism gave way to Stalinism, and Stalin's philosophy still echoes through Russia today. The Russian Revolution was Russia's kick start into the modern world, and that's a big reason why it is so important to Russia's history.

Answer 3

The Russian Revolution eventually led to the takeover of the Russian government by the Bolsheviks who withdrew Russia from the war, allowing Germany to combine their troops in France.
