It didn't help the Bolsheviks at all- in point of fact it was the last thing they needed when trying to build a Communist state from the ruins of a tyrannical Tsarist Dictatorship. It only helped them get rid of all remaining Tsarist sympathisers and anti-Communist elements, and to thus secure the Bolshevik grip on power with no effective opposition.
