In the midst of a crisis, Russian country, our Motherland is falling apart. In the turn of events, a new dawn of age is in the making. The Great War took many of our best people while the famine is taking the other part. Long hours at work, which look like slavery by this moment, with constant risk of injury and death and inadequate wages indicate that the changes should be made instantly. Working people are starving and cannot provide for their children and wives. All of this is happening due to the greedy and powerful Tsar and his family who lived like gods in their palace for centuries.

But not everything is lost, there is still hope. Strikes and bread riots are spreading across the country.

The Bolsheviks promise to return the power and governance to the working class. The means of production will be took from the capitalists and be given back to the proletariat. All land will be nationalised which will bring equality to everyone from the western part of the country, the city of Leningrad, all the way to Vladivostok. The state, ruled by the avangarde promised to distribute all the wealth to the working people. Freedom to the proletariat and down with the Tsarist regime!

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
