What is the importance of the Russian Revolution?
While I am not a Communist, the historical significance of the Russian Revolution is beyond any doubt. While democratic countries like Britain and America granted civil liberties, the workers’ condition was pathetic-long working hours and low wages. Earlier, the elitist government supported the capitalists in full but later to counter the Communist challenge, took to mass welfare schemes. The Russian Revolution under Lenin against the Czarist autocracy highlighted the importance of socioeconomic equality, and therefore opposed imperialism also. Moreover, the Russian Revolution was responsible for the spread of laudible but not plausible Communist ideas. Finally, the Russian Revolution gave birth to the Soviet Union, a superpower before its collapse in 1991.
