==Etymology== Despite occurring in November of the [[Gregorian calendar]], the event is most commonly known as the "October Revolution" ({{Lang|ru|Октябрьская революция}}) because at the time Russia still used the [[Julian calendar]]. The event is sometimes known as the "November Revolution", after the Soviet Union [[Soviet calendar|modernized its calendar]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Russian Revolution – Causes, Timeline & Definition |url=https://www.history.com/topics/russia/russian-revolution |access-date=15 October 2020 |website=www.history.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Russian Revolution {{!}} Definition, Causes, Summary, History, & Facts |url=https://www.britannica.com/event/Russian-Revolution |access-date=15 October 2020 |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |language=en}}</ref>{{Sfn|Bunyan|Fisher|1934|p=385}} To avoid confusion, both O.S. and N.S. dates have been given for events. For more details see [[Old Style and New Style dates]]. It was sometimes known as the Bolshevik Revolution, or the Communist Revolution.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Samaan |first=A.E. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JkXJZtI9DQoC&q=%22october+uprising%22+%22bolshevik+revolution%22&pg=PA346 |title=From a "Race of Masters" to a "Master Race": 1948 to 1848 |date=2013 |publisher=A.E.
