Precious photos of Russia's October Revolution

PSNews - Today (November 7), Russia marks its 101st anniversary
of October Revolution. It is considered an important event with meaningful lessons. Creatively applying experience and historical lessons of the Russian October Revolution, the Communist Party of Vietnam under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh led the Vietnamese August Revolution to its success in 1945.
The October Revolution officially known in Soviet literature as the Great October Socialist Revolution and commonly referred to as Red October, the October Uprising, the Bolshevik Revolution or the Bolshevik Coup, was a revolution in Russia led by the Bolsheviks and Vladimir Lenin that was instrumental in the larger Russian Revolution of 1917.

It took place with an armed insurrection in Petrograd on 7 November (25 October, O.S.) 1917. That is because prior to 1917, the Russian Empire and its Tsars followed Eastern Orthodox Christianity in contrast to Western Christian nations, which retained an allegiance to Rome. The primary reason for this split, bizarrely, was due to calendars.
