Who led the Bolshevik revolution that killed a lot of Christians?

The Bolshevik Revolution, which took place in 1917, was led by figures such as Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and other prominent members of the Bolshevik Party. The revolution aimed to overthrow the provisional government that had been established after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and establish a socialist state. While the Bolshevik regime's policies in the following years, particularly during the Russian Civil War and the early Soviet period, led to widespread persecution of various groups, including the Russian Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations, it is important to understand the context in which these events occurred. The new Bolshevik government sought to consolidate power and implement an atheist, communist ideology, which resulted in significant repression of religious institutions and believers. The extent of violence and persecution varied over time and was influenced by various factors including the civil conflict, political opposition, and social upheaval. The impact on Christians and religious communities in general was severe, leading to closures of churches, executions of clergy, and broader anti-religious campaigns. However, the revolution itself was primarily a political upheaval driven by class struggle and the desire for a new socio-economic order.
