#PeoplesHistory | On November 7, 1917 (October according to the old Russian calendar), Bolsheviks, under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, overturned the interim provisional government and replaced it with a government by the people, local councils elected by bodies of workers and peasants.
Through sheer collective human efforts and the manifestation of a general will for progress, the Soviet Union rapidly progressed as a world superpower with excellent achievements in enhancing working class rights, women’s rights, human development, military power, science and technology, including space technology. The October Revolution influenced liberation struggles all around the third world, and today, it continues to guide us in our fight for a better world free of oppression and exploitation.
