However much one may compare the <a href="https://c.im/tags/RussianRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussianRevolution</span></a> with the Great French Revolution, the former can never be transformed into a repetition of the latter."<br>In the <a href="https://c.im/tags/FrenchRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrenchRevolution</span></a> of 1789, France experienced what Marxists called a "bourgeois-democratic revolution"—a regime was established wherein the bourgeoisie overthrew the existing French feudalistic system.
