Exactly one hundred years ago today, the most important event of 20th century happened: Bolshevik coup against the provisional government of Russia in Petrograd. Bolsheviks succeeded and a century of blood and terror and wars started. Let us imagine if Bolshevik coup had not succeeded what could have happened. Russia would not have lost millions and millions of innocent people in civil war and famine and gulags and the second world war. National Socialism in Germany most probably could not have triumphed as it was mostly a reaction against communism. Second world war could have been avoided. There was no cold war which caused millions more deaths and created lots of dictatorships. Millions would not have perished in Mao’s cultural revolution. The list goes on and on.
