On October 25, 1917, members of the Bolshevik Red Guards captured the Russian Winter Palace in Petrograd, heralding the October Revolution, sometimes called the Bolshevik Revolution. Earlier in the year, a provisional government had been established, and the Bolsheviks sought to overthrow the existing power structure. The event resulted in a series of struggles sometimes refered to as the Russian Civil War and finally the creation in 1922 of the Soviet Union.
