Question 56

# Richard Pipes regarding the October revolution

Answer 56

Although it is customary to speak of two Russian revolutions of 1917 – one in February, the other in October – only the first deserves this name… October was a classic coup d'état, the capture of governmental authority by a small band, carried out, in deference to the democratic profession of the age, with **a show of mass participation, but with hardly any mass involvement.’** ## Footnote not a mass revolution – Trotsky himself claims they had 30,000-40,000 supporters, of whom only 10,000-15,000 attacked the Winter Palace (5% of workers in Petrograd).
