Led by prominent figures like Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, the uprising aimed to establish a socialist government in Germany in the wake of World War I and the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Communists in Russia attempted to undermine Boris Yeltsin's authority during his presidency, particularly in the early 1990s. They opposed his market reforms and privatization policies, which they believed threatened the foundations of the Soviet system. This opposition culminated in significant political conflict, including the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis, where hardline communists attempted to seize power, leading to a violent standoff between Yeltsin's government and the parliament. Ultimately, Yeltsin's decisive actions during this crisis reinforced his position, but it also deepened divisions within Russian society.
