Throwing door open for oppressed people: Bolshevik Revolution changed the world forever

By Stephen Millies

104 years ago, on Nov. 7, 1917, workers and peasants overthrew the capitalist government in Russia. The world hasn’t been the same since.

Two million soldiers in the Russian army had died in World War I. Russia was ruled by the cruel Czar Nicholas II. Like the United States, the Russian Empire was a big prison of oppressed nationalities.

The Bolsheviks fought pogroms with guns in hand. Lenin waged war on racism. He enriched Marxism by teaching that workers in the big capitalist countries had to support revolts in the colonies.
