The result of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was the establishment of a communist government under the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Led by figures like Vladimir Lenin, the revolution in 1917 marked the end of the Tsarist autocracy and resulted in the overthrow of the Provisional Government. This significant change paved the way for the Russian Civil War, where the Bolsheviks fought against various anti-Bolshevik forces, ultimately solidifying their power. The revolution influenced global politics significantly, inspiring communist movements worldwide and leading to the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922.
