The Russian Revolution was truly a unique event in world history where Russia was a provisional government at first and once the Bolsheviks and Lenin overthrew the government, they made it into a communist government which formally established the country we all know today that was disbanded in the 90’s as the Soviet Union. Although the Russian Revolution was quite remarkable and special, it did in fact have some similarities with revolutions before and after it. It has some similarities with the french revolution as they both were led by peasants overthrowing the absolute monarchical government. They were both qualified as a civil uprising caused by social injustice which led to the changing of leaders and a new governmental system being enacted.
