Brand: Compass Games

The Russian Revolution was one of the most consequential events of the 20th century - it saw the downfall of the last autocratic monarchy in modern times, led to the advent of the Soviet Union, and created to social and political platform which gave us Josef Stalin, GULAGs, and the Cold War. But those critical days in 1917 were the culmination of over a decade of political, social, and ideological conflict in Russia.
