As the world is plunged into the turmoil of the Great War, Russia, an immensely vast country, is rocked by a revolution. A popular, unpremeditated revolt, that swept everything in its wake and baffled everyone, including key revolutionary leaders.
Then, in October, the Bolshevik party, albeit an outnumbered minority, takes over by force, brutally putting an end to the democratic aspirations of the first actors of the revolution.
