ON the night that sparked the October Revolution in 1917 a single blank shot was fired at the Winter Palace, then the residence of the Russian Provisional government. This shot changed the course of history.
Known as the Russian Revolution, this was the signal to the rebellious workers, soldiers and sailors of the city to storm the palace. That moment triggered a dramatic episode in Russia's history and was the start of more than 70 years of Communist leadership.
October 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of this moment in history.
Bentours has put together an eight-day independent tour departing October 13, which includes seven nights accommodation on B&B basis, sightseeing with English speaking guide and entrance fees. Prices start from $2495.
