The influential local councils of workers, peasants, and soldiers formed by the Social Revolutionaries in cities like Petrograd were called "soviets." These soviets played a key role during the Russian Revolution in 1917, representing the interests of the working class and influencing the course of events in the early stages of the revolution. They provided a forum for political debate, decision-making, and organization among the various groups in society.
Who were Marx Lenin Stalin and Trotsky?
The only unifying "trait" between these men is the ideological philosophy, rooted in socialist doctrine explored and much advanced by Marx and later further developed by Lenin, who have created a new theory of his own of socialist revolution as a method of transforming society from capitalism to more responsible social welfare of the nation and society. Trotsky has also created a theory of his own by taking Marx work called "Capital" - writing on capitalist economy and society with futuristic outlook on the possible way of development and progress of capitalistic economy and society which under his view will inevitably come to realization of the social approach as a better way to manage economy in general, natural resources as the ground for the economy of production and social evolution of the working class, that will come to realization of the necessity for "CHANGE" and will lead to more democratic governance of the working place and social live of the nation, in the nation state. Trotsky is radical adept of the Marx teaching, who advocated the need for push towards the CHANGE, that it will not come by itself, that capitalist and owners of the big business will never allow for the CHANGE to take place since it will put their ownership of assets at risk and their businesses at heavy tax burden, that will make their ownership rather a responsibility then a means for self enrichment. Therefore Trotsky theory was called a military communism. In comparison Lenin theory was also advocating a revolution as means for CHANGE, that will not come by itself, but rather through the violent clash of massive people resistance to the present authorities and governing powers, but once achieved revolution will evolve into construction mode of the new society, and other people who did not support them at the time of the revolution will join their efforts to build a new social format of society he called communism. Trotsky's approach to successful establishment of communist was much different he advocated that acceptance of the new form of social organization called communism would rather be possible if all the oposition and those who did not support them in the establishment of the new social form of comunism would rather be killed, to secure proper development of communism.
What is undeniable to Stalin is that he has build the communist society of Russia much like Marx have predicted a centure before, in his book "Capital", Stalin has turned Russia into very industrialized nation with GDP capacity greated then United States of that time (mid 1930-s) and have turned Russia from rural and agrarian type of economy at the earlier 1920 to the highly industrialized nation in 1935. However the price he paid for the progress in terms of human lives that have perished in the construction process of the industrial economy of Russia was to great for Russian people to apriciate the CHANGE, they rather hate it, but in fear to become next who would perish, they have kept silence and visible acceptance.
That was the time when the LOGO (heads of Marx, Lenin, Stalin) of Russian communist party have been created and accepted as the natonal symbol of the communist state of Russia. Trotsky perish in times for the communist party of Russia, however his theories on social CHANGE has found the way to other communist movements and leaders around the world like in Cuba for instance
What leader partially based their rule on the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels?
Vladimir Lenin was greatly influenced by the writings of Marx and Engels which led him to bringing communism to Russia. When speaking of major leaders in major countries, we cannot forget Mao Za-Dong of the Peoples Republic of China. ( note, I've seen various spellings of Mao's surname )
The major problem, however,was that they all twisted Marx's ideas to benefit themselves. True Marxists such a Leon Trotsky were either marginalized or executed.
According to Marxism who are the proletariat and role did they play in the Bolshevik Revolution?
According to Marx, the proletariat is the class of workers who have no ownership or control of the means of production in the economy. They own nothing but the right to sell their own labor. The proletariat is not simply "the lower class" as that term is commonly used. It just so happens that the common industrial worker may be in a lower social class, lower social status is not the true definition of proletariat.
The "proletariat" actually played very little in the "Bolshevik Revolution" because there was no proletariat in Marxist terms. First, Russia had not gone through the industrialization phase of capitalism therefore there was no true proletariat. Russia was still an agrarian country. Second, the Bolshevik Revolution was not a people's revolution as Marx envisioned it. The Bolshevik Revolution was nothing more than a military and political coup staged by the Bolshevik forces in which they seized control of the government from the existing Provisional Government.
The people of Russia, soldiers, workers and peasants, simply stood by doing nothing while the Bolsheviks seized power. By and large theirs was a wait and see attitude. Most felt it was better to have a revolutionary government (Bolshevik) rather than a counter-revolutionary government (the Provisional Government) even though the Bolsheviks were not universally favored or trusted.
Why was Lenins body put on display?
Lenin's body was put on display in a mausoleum in Moscow primarily to serve as a symbol and a rallying point for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Additionally, it was seen as a way to honor and venerate Lenin as the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and the founder of the Soviet state.

Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Party brought "communism" to Russia in 1917 through the October Revolution. It should be noted that true communism was never instituted in Russia (or in any other country for that matter). The revolution brought a socialist state to Russia. The theory was that socialism would eventually evolve into communism generations later. It never did.

How did Lenin and the Bolsheviks take over the government?
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party with many thousands of followers. In 1917, they staged the October Revolution and deposed the existing Provisional Government, which had been set up after the Tsar abdicated the previous March. The Bolshevik Party with its military force, the Red Guard, took over all organs of government and declared itself in power. Most people were glad to see the Provisional Government go, so they did not rise to its defense. The Bolsheviks were in power but barred all other political parties from participating in the government.
The Russian Civil War broke out but Lenin's Red forces defeated the opposing White forces. During the Civil War, more than a year after the Tsar had stepped down and about nine months after the October Revolution, Lenin ordered the execution of Tsar Nicholas and his entire family. Once the Civil War was over, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were in sole power over Russia.

What was a slogan of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917?
Not so much a slogan.. more a decree
peace land bread
It should be counted as a slogan since it appeared on many posters prior to the Bolshevik Revolution. Lenin also used as a rallying cry the slogan: "All power to the Soviets." This meant that all political and military power should be in the hands of the soviets, or councils of workers and soldiers that sprang up in many cities just prior to the revolution.
It would be obscenely rude to not have a funeral for someone who has lived a good, productive life who was loved by many and is missed by all who knew that person. Funerals honor the life of the deceased, as the wake is just for that purpose, and for the grieving of the life lost. Funerals are reverent as everyone is supposed to wear their best clothes, or what they would wear for church, if not better. Cremations, though preferable to some, are comletely different than funerals, as cremations burn the body into ashes and have the ashes placed into an urn (vase) for safe keeping. Funerals preserve the body, though cremations are considerably cheaper (urns are cheaper than coffins). Funerals preserve the body because it is believed by many that that same body is to be resurrected when Christ comes back.
