Few would deny that the Bolshevik Revolution was a “world historical event” in the Hegelian–Marxist sense. November 7, 1917, was “a day that shook the world.” Not only did it occasion the fall of the moribund Czarist autocracy, but it appeared to mark the ascendancy of a new social order in which the welfare of the “toiling masses” would supersede the minority interests of the nobility, or property-owning classes. Certainly, the Bolsheviks construed their own actions in these terms, proclaiming without reservation that their triumph would usher in a new era of (Marxist) socialism, followed ineluctably by full communism.
