The "October Revolution" is another name, but not a 'nickname' of the Bolshevik Revolution. In fact, the October Revolution has come to be the preferred, perhaps even formal, historical name for the event in order to distinguish the Bolshevik Revolution from the one that occurred in February (Russian calendar) which has come to be known as the February Revolution.
The "Bolshevik Revolution" was more particularly known as the "October Revolution" in 1917. It is called this, because there had been two revolutions in Russia in 1917, one in February (called the February Revolution) and one in October (called the October Revolution) in order to distinguish one from the other. The Bolshevik Revolution is the one which overthrew the Provisional Government of Russia and put Lenin and the Bolshevik Party (later renamed Communist Party) in power. The February Revolution is the one which forced Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate the throne.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks during the "soviet revolution", although technically it is not called the soviet revolution, but the Russian Revolution or Bolshevik Revolution. The Soviet Union had not come into being until 1922.

The Russian Revolution" is well-known to many people. But how many of you know there were actually 2 revolutions? Not many. "2 revolutions???" you may ask. Yes, there were indeed two revolutions. For simplicity's sake we shall call the first one the Russian Revolution and the second the Bolshevik Revolution. The Russian Revolution occurred in February of 1917 while the Bolshevik Revolution occurred just 8 months after, in October. To be able to analyse these two revolutions we must understand the causes of these revolutions first.
After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Russia changed dramatically for one fundamental reason: the new leaders of the nation, the Communists, had vastly different ideas about governing and about social arrangements than the monarchical rulers who had been overthrown. Following the vision of Karl Marx (with some additions or revisions of their own), the Russian Communists rebuilt society along Communistic lines.
There were two revolutions in 1917, but Lenin led only the second one. The first was the so-called February Revolution (also called the Patriotic Revolution). The second was the October Revolution (also called the Bolshevik Revolution).
Leon Trotsky was one of the Communist leaders of the Russian Revolution in 1917. He died in 1924.
