What did the political reorganization of Russia after the 1917 Communist Revolution result in?

• A. A federation of socialist republics
• B. A centralized monarchy restored
• C. A loose confederation of independent states
• D. A single-party capitalist state

Answer: (B)

After the 1917 Revolution, Russia moved away from monarchy and toward a centralized one-party socialist state. The Bolsheviks dissolved the old autocratic system and built a government based on workers’ councils (soviets) and a central party leadership to plan and control the economy and politics. This culminated in the formation of the Soviet Union in 1922—a federation of socialist republics united under a central government and the Communist Party. So the political reorganization produced a centralized, single-party socialist state structured as a federation of socialist republics, not a restored monarchy or a loose confederation or capitalist state.
