Solution

Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
In 1917, Russia was in a state of economic and social turmoil due to the impacts of World War I and the existing autocratic rule.
-
The Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, capitalized on the discontent among the masses. Lenin and the Bolsheviks promised "Peace, Land, and Bread" to the war-weary and hungry Russian population.
-
In November 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power from the Provisional Government in what is known as the October Revolution (according to the Julian calendar, which was in use in Russia at the time, the revolution occurred in October).
-
After seizing power, the Bolsheviks immediately began to implement their communist ideology. They believed that communism, a classless society where the means of production are owned by the community, would solve Russia's economic problems.
-
In 1922, after a brutal civil war between the Red Army (Bolsheviks) and the White Army (a loose coalition of anti-Bolshevik forces), the Bolsheviks emerged victorious. They then established the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), marking the beginning of the communist rule that would last until 1991.
