Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution

In the last week of october 19 17, the air in petrograd was thick with anticipation. Everyone knew the bolsheviks were planning an uprising to coincide with the convening of the second all russian congress of soviets on Oct 20 fifth. Kerensky took it as a sign that he could safely launch a peremptive strike and snuff out the bolshevik koup before it even began. The story will chronicle those revolutionaries who struggled against the bolsheik's vision of revolution. Because that too is the story of the russian revolution.
