It changed Russia from a tsarist empire into a global socialist superpower within decades.

Let their courage and vision for a better world inspire us in our own journeys towards a communist world.

Turned a rural backwater into a spacefaring superpower within a lifetime, that's hard to beat in terms of sheer achievement.

The Soviet Union saved one of my Great Uncles from a concentration camp. Not quite the same, but I appreciate them none the less.

October revolution started in November?

It did according to Gregorian calendar. But the Russians were using the Julian calendar in which it would be the 25th october right now.

Since the calendar shift was already explained, it may be fun to know that there were two revolutions in Russia in 1917, both named after the wrong month. The February revolution took place in March and the October revolution took place in November. Just as a bit of trivia.

Hope it happens again very soon!

The revolutionaries of the past are looking down on us with hope. I imagine the entirety of the first communist wave chanting our names in unison.

They've laid the groundwork, let us finish the job!
