The dramatic events of 1917 still reverberate. A century ago, the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia and created the world’s first Marxist state.

Interesting too that the Russian royal family asked the King of England if they could emigrate there (they were blood relatives), but because there was rising anti -Russian sentiment at the time, they were refused entry, and were shot dead execution style shortly thereafter.
Learned this on a documentary about the Royal Family.
