Changes

The '''October Revolution''', led by [[Bolshevik]] leader [[Vladimir Lenin]], took place in [[Russia]] in 1917.  Lenin returned from exile when the [[czar|tsarist]] (czarist) rule ended and led the Bolsheviks into power. The October Revolution consisted of the Bolshevik overthrow of the [[Provisional Government]] that had been in power since the [[February Revolution]]. Lenin then led the [[Soviet Union]] under a system of [[Marxism]]-Leninism until his death in 1924. After his death, a power struggle between [[Leon Trotsky]] and [[Joseph Stalin]] ostracized Trotsky and brought Stalin to power. Stalin would eventually have Trotsky assassinated and betray all of the revolution's intentions.
