The October Revolution was the second of the two Russian Revolutions in 1917. The October Revolution, also called the Bolshevik Revolution, is when Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik followers took control of the Russian government from the Russian Provisional Government headed by Alexander Kerensky. It put he Bolsheviks, later called Communists, in charge of Russia.

Vladimir Lenin's October Revolution was not a revolution of the people. It was an armed insurrection or military coup by the Bolshevik Party alone. It did not remove Tsar Nicholas II from the throne. That had already been done in March of 1917.

The October Revolution occurred after growing unrest in Russia following its entry and struggle in World War One. Funded by Germany, Lenin stirred civil unrest in the Russian Empire, which was already descending into civil war due to a lack of food and supplies. Using Propaganda and intimidation, Lenin and his followers lead an idealistic uprising which came to be known as the October Revolution.
