Karl Marx was not a direct participant in the Russian Revolution of 1917, as he died in 1883. However, his theories and writings profoundly influenced the Bolshevik leaders, particularly Vladimir Lenin, who adapted Marxist principles to fit the Russian context. Marx's ideas about class struggle and the role of the proletariat in overthrowing capitalism provided the ideological foundation for the revolution, which aimed to establish a socialist state. Thus, while Marx himself was not involved, his legacy shaped the revolution's goals and methods.
We must be clear that when speaking of the Russian revolution, there are two possibilities. One was the women's day revolution leading into the Kerensky provisional government, or the one that soon followed: the so-called "October Revolution". Usually, when referring to the Russian Revolution, the Lenin-lead October Revolution is implied. Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto which described the Marxist communist political ideology. This ideology was the one that revolutionaries Lenin and Trotsky wanted to implement in the Russian society with the Russian revolution. Marxism was however not fully adopted. Lenin made alterations to the ideology and created Leninist Marxist Communism, usually reffered to only as Leninism. Leninism stipulates that the armed revolution Marx predicted would not be successful unless guided by a revolutionary elite. Marx had stated that the revolution would simply erupt as a natural response to evils inherent in class-based societies, and did not seem to think that Lenin's guidance was needed. However, Marx's impact on the Russian revolution was purely in ideology. Marx took no active part in the revolution, as he was dead at the time of it (1917)
No. Marx died in 1883. The Russian Revolution. which was a series of three revolutions came later. The first revolution was in 1905, but was little more than a series of labor strikes. The second revolution was actually two in one which occurred in February 1917 and October 1917. The third revolution was a revolution against the Bolsheviks who took power in the October 1917 revolution. This one failed.
The French Revolution
Marx and Engels' ideas on class struggle, the role of the proletariat as a revolutionary force, and the critique of capitalism were highly influential in the 1917 Russian Revolution. Their concept of historical materialism provided a framework for understanding societal change and the necessity of a workers' uprising against the bourgeoisie. Additionally, the notion of a dictatorship of the proletariat helped justify the Bolshevik seizure of power, as they sought to establish a government that represented the working class.
The Russian Revolution did not lead to World War 1, as the Bolshevik Revolution took place in 1917, 3 years into the war.
No, Karl Marx died before any of the three Russian Revolutions took place.

A man named Karl Marx, hence Marxism
Karl Marx's theories on class struggle and socialism laid the ideological foundation for Lenin and the Bolshevik movement. Lenin adapted Marx's ideas to the Russian context, emphasizing the role of a vanguard party to lead the proletariat in overthrowing the bourgeoisie. His interpretation of Marxism, known as Marxism-Leninism, guided the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, which aimed to establish a socialist state based on Marxist principles. Thus, Marx's ideas were pivotal in shaping the revolutionary strategies and goals that characterized the Russian Revolution.
Lenin’s teachings on leadership and dictatorship.
No. Marx died in 1883. The Russian Revolution. which was a series of three revolutions came later. The first revolution was in 1905, but was little more than a series of labor strikes. The second revolution was actually two in one which occurred in February 1917 and October 1917. The third revolution was a revolution against the Bolsheviks who took power in the October 1917 revolution. This one failed.
Lenin was the leader and hero of the October Revolution of 1917, but had nothing to do with the February Revolution in 1917. Stalin was a subordinate to Lenin at the time so he was not a leader at all. Karl Marx had died by the time of the revolution, so aside from planting the ideas of socialism, communism and a revolt by the people in their minds, he had nothing to do with the revolution itself. well this is helpfull
Karl Marx had no beliefs or thoughts of the Russian Revolution since it occurred many years after Marx died on March 14, 1883. The "Russian Revolution" was actually a series of three revolutions. One in 1905, which resulted in the creation of the Duva, a Russian style Parliament. The second was in February 1917, which resulted in the abdication of Czar Nicholas II, and one in October 1917 resulting in the ascension to power of the Bolsheviks under Lenin. Although Marx obviously had no opinion of the revolutions, it is obvious from his writings that the Russian Revolutions were not the kind he predicted. Marx felt the working class of the industrial nations would unite and overthrow the upper class out of economic forces, then establish a socialist political system. The Russian Revolutions were supported by a non-industrialized agrarian economy which overthrew the political system in order to impose the new economic system. In other words, the Russian Revolution, although inspired by Marxian principles was not the revolution Marx had in mind.
Well, he'd been dead for around two decades when the revolution happened, but he couldn't complain. It could be considered the proletariat revolution he predicted in his Communist Manifesto.
