A detailed Summary of Why the Bolshevicks were able to gain controll of Russia?

Russia has never been particularly lucky with her government, for there has always been a significant problem with Russia's governing ability since the beginning of the modern world. It has either been Russia's people in distress, her government in turmoil, or her collapsing economy.

Obviously the Russian people did not want to die in a war. So the Bolsheviks promised if they get into power, then they will back out of the war. The people liked this, especially the recruited men and their family.
