The Russian Revolution paved the way for the rise of communism. Communism grew as an influential political belief and spread around the world. The Soviet Union rose as a world power after the Russian Revolution. It became so powerful that it stood at par with the United States during the Cold War.
The Russian Revolution inspired the revolutionaries in many other countries. Mao Zedong turned China into a communist nation, following the example set by the Soviets. China, Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua and a number of other countries are direct heirs of the Russian Revolution.
The 1917 Russian Revolution was a powerful tool in spreading socialist ideas as well. Socialism was a popular concept by the time the Second World War divided the world. However, by the end of the 20th century, the international reputation of the USSR as a socialist country, declined considerably.
