		October 26 - Provisional government is arrested early in the morning Lenin issues Decree on Peace and Decree on Land Congress approves Soviet of the People’s Commissars, with all-Bolshevik membership, as new provisional government
		Just to be sure, however, the Bolsheviks decided to hold the revolution on the day before the meeting and then to ask the Congress to approve their action after the fact.
		However, this very indifference on the part of the Russian people enabled the new leadership to extend its power quite far, and the October Revolution would soon prove to be a cataclysmic event once its earthshaking effect on Russia and the rest of the world became clear.

	SparkNotes: The Russian Revolution (1917–1918): Summary of Events
		The February Revolution, which removed Tsar Nicholas II from power, developed spontaneously out of a series of increasingly violent demonstrations and riots on the streets of Petrograd (present-day St. Petersburg), during a time when the tsar was away from the capital visiting troops on the World War I front.
		Though the February Revolution was a popular uprising, it did not necessarily express the wishes of the majority of the Russian population, as the event was primarily limited to the city of Petrograd.
		However, most of those who took power after the February Revolution, in the provisional government (the temporary government that replaced the tsar) and in the Petrograd Soviet (an influential local council representing workers and soldiers in Petrograd), generally favored rule that was at least partially democratic.

	October Revolution and Tactics of the Communists
		The revolutions in France in 1848 and 1871 came to grief chiefly because the peasant reserves proved to be on the side of the bourgeoisie.
		Trotsky's "permanent revolution" is the repudiation of Lenin's theory of the proletarian revolution; and conversely, Lenin's theory of the proletarian revolution is the repudiation of the theory of "permanent revolution."
		For the victory of the revolution in one country, in the present case Russia, is not only the product of the uneven development and progressive decay of imperialism; it is at the same time the beginning of and the pre-condition for the world revolution.

	The Bolsheviks, the Masses, and October (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The October Revolution was perhaps the most momentous event of the twentieth century.
		The October Revolution was interpreted quite differently by those hostile to the Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. In their "‘top-down' histories of the Russian Revolution- the common people appeared as the passive objects of the evil machinations of the Bolsheviks."
		It is thus possible to conclude without contradiction that the October Revolution was both an authentic expression of the will of the Russian people and that it was the result of a supple improvisation on the part of Lenin and his party.

	The October Revolution and the National Question
		This is being strikingly borne out in the period of revolution in Russia, when the national question and the national movement in the border regions of Russia are rapidly and obviously changing their character in accordance with the course and outcome of the revolution.
		The revolution was accomplished by the efforts of the workers and the peasants (soldiers), but as a result of the revolution power passed not to the workers and peasants, but to the bourgeoisie.
		The February Revolution, with its inner contradictions, was obviously not enough for "the salvation of the country." The Milyukov-Kerensky Government was obviously incapable of solving the basic problems of the revolution.

	The October Revolution: Marxism in Power
		This group demanded that the workers be given direct power and protested against the employment of bourgeois specialists, the appointment of managers in industry, and the organisation of the army on the basis of traditional military discipline.
		The position of the majority on the central committee was that these demands made an impossible claim on scarce resources and that the immediate task was to begin the economic and social reconstruction that would provide a firm foundation for such measures in the future.
		He was the architect of the revolution, and, as such, it was his lot to have to apply his mind to an extraordinarily wide number of issues: from problems involving military tactics, food supply, and sabotage, to problems of religious belief, women's rights, homeless children, communist morality, and the philosophy of science.

	October Revolution
		The Bolshevik seizure of power in Petrograd in October 1917 was celebrated for over seventy years by the Soviet government as a sacred act that laid the foundation for a new political order which would transform "backward" Russia (and after 1923 the Soviet Union) into an advanced socialist society.
		Officially known as the October Revolution (or simply "October"), it was regarded by the Bolsheviks' enemies -- and continued to be interpreted by many western historians -- as a conspiratorial coup that deprived Russia of the opportunity to establish a democratic polity.
		On October 10, having returned to Petrograd, he obtained, by a vote of 10-2, a resolution of the Central Committee in favor of making an armed uprising the order of the day.

		Before October it was the case that Lenin's Party, although the most hierarchical of all the Russian parties, was not as yet the monolithic instrument commanded at will by its leader that it later became.
		Yet, the historical myth surrounding Red October, is that of a "revolution from below." A revolution led by the Russian masses in the interests of the Russian masses.
		The myth of proletarian October is the myth of the triumph of the alienated and dehumanized masses over all their sufferings and deprivations.
