October Revolution

Bolshevik forces, led by Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, storm the Winter Palace in Petrograd, overwhelming the Provisional Government's defenses and seizing control of the seat of power.

Setting

The palace is surrounded by Bolshevik forces, with the main assault occurring through the palace gates and various entry points. Inside, the Provisional Government's ministers are barricaded in the Malachite Room.
