<sup>Superscript text</sup> The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a series of political and social upheavals in Russia, involving first the overthrow of the Czarist autocracy, and then the overthrow of the liberal and moderate-socialist Provisional Government, resulting in the establishment of Soviet power under the control of the Bolshevik party. This eventually led to the establishment of the Soviet Union, which lasted until its dissolution in 1991.
