Inspirational Leader

Disaffected
Soldiers sympathetic to the Bolshevik cause carry banners bearing Marxist slogans. Lenin and his co-conspirators found a welcome audience among the Imperial troops. Sent by the czar to fighting a losing war in the freezing winter, they were quick to accept the message that they were being exploited.

The Petrograd Soviet

Voting
Lenin and his cadre dared not cancel an election for a constituent assembly that had been scheduled long before the coup. In the voting, the Bolsheviks garnered 24 percent, while their arch-rivals, the Social Revolutionaries, got much more support, with 40 percent. The first and only meeting of the assembly was broken up by sailors sympathetic to the Bolshevik cause.

Civil War
A "Red" Army unit (i.e. one loyal to the Bolsheviks) marches through Kharkov. In order to secure control over the entire country, Lenin and his supporters had to wage a four-year war against the "Whites," a loose coaltion of all who opposed them.

Desperate
The Civil War pushed the country into chaos. Food supplies evaporated, and citizens were forced to roam the country by cart and train in search of food.

Wounded
Soldiers loyal to the Bolsheviks load their wounded onto a train after battling sailors garrisoned at a fort in Kronstadt, near Petrograd. The uprising of the sailors against the newly formed government was the last rebellion against Bolshevik rule and its suppression is regarded as the final battle of the Civil War.
