What changes took place in Russia after the October Revolution?

The October Revolution changed the political climate of Russia. After the Revolution, the Congress of Soviets adopted a constitution according to which, the supreme authority was vested in the Congress itself. All banks were nationalized and all factories placed under the control of the local Soviets. The period that followed the October Revolution also brought an end to the war with Germany.

The new government then held democratic elections. The elections were held only after ensuring that power was safe in their hands, but the result was not much to their liking. The Bolsheviks were shocked to know that they received one of the lowest numbers of votes. They refused to accept the election results. The new parliament was physically attacked and dispersed; it was never to be heard of again.
