Was the Russian revolution a marxist revolution?

Answer:
In a word, no. Marx believed in a Proletarian revolution where the working class seized power for themselves. Although the Bolsheviks had a lot of support from the working class, the fact that the working class were not the ones to take power means that it was not a Proletarian revolution. Also, later when Stalin came into power, he treated the working class very poorly, forcing them onto state-owned farms, liquidating their land and livestock, and causing widespread famine.
