Answer: After Tsar Nicholas II lost power and was demoted, efforts to make Russia a communist state were made.
Explanation: During the revolt of 1917, the Provisional Government established Russia as a democratic state, however, a group of rebellious Russians, named the Bolsheviks refused to accept that and started a revolt in October 1917. This led a man, Vladimir Lenin, to be elected, and yet he was a man of communism. I hoped this helped you answer your question!
