The Bolshevik Revolution, also known as the October Revolution of 1917, took place mainly in Petrograd, Russia, but it occurred in many other larger cities as well. Petrograd had been known as St. Petersburg but the name during WWI. St. Petersburg had been the Tsarist capital city of Russia and remained the capital under the Provisional Government set up when the Tsar abdicated after the February Revolution of 1917. When the Provisional Government in Petrograd proved to be no better than Tsarist rule, the people refused to support it. Lenin and the Bolsheviks simply stepped in and took power from the main governing body in Petrograd and announced that governmental power was now vested in the workers' councils (called Soviets) that had formed in the larger cities.

In Russian, the term 'Bolshevik' means 'majority men', who were in favour of a Communist Revolution lead by the Proletariat. There were also the Mensheviks, or 'minority men', who wanted a Socialist Revolution led by the Middle Classes- in effect, replacing one set of bosses with another set of bosses, who would have governed the country on the basis of inequality of education and academic elitism as oppose to inequality of wealth. Those in favour of a Proletarian revolution were in the majority, hence the term 'Bolshevik'.
