On this day, 7 November 1917, the October revolution began in Russia (named because of the different calendar which was in use at the time). Bolsheviks, anarchists and Left-Socialist Revolutionaries participated in the overthrow of the Kerensky-led provisional government, which was committed to continuing Russia’s participation in the disastrous First World War. They seized control of key locations in Petrograd, culminating in the storming of the Winter Palace. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1848375055347636/?type=3
