100 years has passed since the day the October Revolution happened in Russia. Nonetheless, it remains one of the most historic events in the 20th century, which not only brought about radical change to people of working class and peace to the world, but also paved way for national liberation movement.

It was the guiding star for oppressed countries to develop into socialist republics.
