The Bolsheviks seized power in Russia during the October Revolution of 1917, which followed the February Revolution that had already led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. On October 25 (Julian calendar; November 7 in the Gregorian calendar), they orchestrated a coup by storming key government buildings in Petrograd, seizing control of the Winter Palace, and effectively overthrowing the Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, capitalized on widespread discontent regarding the ongoing World War I and economic instability, promising "peace, land, and bread" to rally popular support. By the end of the month, they had established a new government, marking the beginning of Bolshevik rule in Russia.
