Question

What were the main changes brought about by the Bolsheviks immediately after the October revolution?

Answer 1

Hint: The October Revolution, also known as the Great October Socialist Revolution in the Soviet Union, was a revolution in Russia headed by Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik Party that played a key role in the 1917–1923 Russian Revolution. It was Russia's second revolutionary government transition in 1917.

Complete answer:
The Bolsheviks implemented the following major changes immediately after the October Revolution:
1) The Bolsheviks were adamantly opposed to private property, thus most companies and banks were nationalised.
2) The nobility's land was proclaimed social property, and peasants were free to seize it.
3) Bolsheviks compelled the split of huge houses in cities according to family needs.
4) They outlawed the usage of archaic aristocratic titles.
5) In 1918, new uniforms for the army and authorities were produced, with the (budeonovka) being chosen as the Soviet cap.
6) The Russian Communist Party was called the Bolshevik Party (Bolshevik). Russia became a one-party state, with trade unions under the supervision of the ruling party.
7) For the first time, the Bolsheviks implemented centralised planning, on the basis of which Russia's development was planned out over five years.
8) The October Revolution, commonly known as the Bolshevik Revolution, was the second and final significant phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, in which the Bolshevik Party seized power in Russia and established the Soviet regime (Oct. 24–25 [Nov. 6–7, New Style], 1917)

Note: The issues confronting Lenin after the October Revolution were Russia's engagement in World War I, followed by its Civil War, widespread starvation, and a shift in political and social thought. Lenin was successful in ending both the war with Germany and the Russian Civil War.
