With the efficient leadership and strong organisation of Lenin, Bolshevik party became successful in taking control of Russia on 7 November 1917 CE. On 8 November 1917 CE under the leadership of Lenin, a new government was formed. This new Bolshevik government had to face many types of challenges along with the opposition of political parties which are the following :
- The people who lost their lands, became unsatisfied with the Bolshevik government.
- After the treaty between Bolshevik government and Germany, Allied powers favoured Russian revolutionaries and created a crisis for Lenin’s government.
- Allied powers formed white government in different fields with the co-operation of opponents of Bolsheviks.
- Russian people had to face the terror of Red Army formed by Bolsheviks and white army by hostile commanders. But at last Lenin conquered all the challenges by his Bolshevik policy.
