The world imperialist chain broke at its weakest link in Russia, in October 1917 leading to spectacular victory of the proletariat. It is imperative for our generation to understand in depth the mechanics of this successful overturn which, for the first time in history, put the power in the hands of the working class. October Revolution ushered into establishment of dictatorship of the proletariat, suppressing the bourgeois regime under Kerensky, while simultaneously wiping out the predatory remnants of Tsarism.
How this victory was achieved and what exactly were the lessons of this historic success of the proletariat, and more interestingly why this victory could not grow further into a world proletarian revolution, are the issues which are crucial in our understanding of this great victory, followed by subsequent failures of the last century.
