The 1917 October Revolution in Russia was the defining moment of the 20th century. More than any single event of the century — including the First World War, which ushered it in — the October Revolution defined much of the course of history for the 74 years it and its successor regimes ruled over one-sixth of the earth. In spite of what became of the society that arose from this great proletarian revolution, the October Revolution is and remains the high water mark of the worldwide movement of working people for their liberation from wage slavery and exploitation to this point in history. Therefore, it is vital that proletarian revolutionaries of the 21st century understand and draw the lessons from this heroic and tragic chapter of the 20th century.

If you're working on a paper/article about the USSR, this is a very interesting resource. It presents what happened after early 1918 as a triumph of the petty bourgeoisie over the proletariat.
