Centenary of the Bolshevik Revolution: They changed the world – Owei Lakemfa

THE Bolshevik Revolution, Russian or October Revolution, one of the bloodiest, but certainly, the most profound revolution in human history will clock  a century next  Tuesday November 7, 2017.  Russia ran  the Julian calendar which was two weeks behind the Gregorian calendar, hence it is called the October Revolution. The shock of a revolution by the ordinary people was so weighty that countries which  some months before were engaged in the quite bloody First World War, decided to jointly invade Russia and wipe out the revolution.
