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.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
