In 1917 the Great October Socialist Revolution took place in Russia. The workers and peasants overthrew the hated power of the tsar and the rich men.

All over the country, in the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Far North and the Far East a new system was being set up and a new life beginning.

This little book tells how the news of the October Revolution arrived in different parts of Russia and how the children of those stirring times greeted it.
