Following the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks brought about several reforms. They were as follows: Nationalization of industries and banks This meant that the government now had ownership and administration of the company. The land was designated communal property, and peasants were permitted to seize aristocracy estates. In cities, the Bolsheviks required huge residences to be divided according to family needs. The usage of archaic aristocratic titles was prohibited. New uniforms were created for the army and authorities. The Russian Communist Party replaced the Bolshevik Party (Bolshevik). Despite the objections of their political friends, the Bolsheviks reached an agreement with Germany and exited the First World War. In subsequent years, the Bolsheviks were the sole party to run in elections to the All Russian Congress of Soviets. It was renamed the Russian Parliament.
