In 1917, the working class of Russia, led by the Bolshevik Party, made the "leap to the heavens": The socialist revolution prevailed and, for the first time in human history, workers proceeded with the radical transformation of society, abolishing the exploitation of man by man and revolutionizing all aspects of social life.

Today, 100 years later, this first attempt to build communist relations of production illuminates contemporary revolutionary action and offers valuable lessons for the struggle in today's conditions. It is evidence that a society without bosses, without capitalists who own the means of production, is not only feasible but also necessary, relevant, and realistic.

This edition presents the dense political events of 1917 through images and documents of the time, newspaper articles, and positions of the political and social forces that clashed in the Revolution. As a whole, they present the path to the October Revolution by reconstructing the atmosphere of this exciting period.
