Russia 1917 · Marxist Games

A game where strategy meets History

On the eve of the October Revolution, every decision matters. Lead the Bolshevik troops through a ruthless civil war, where you will have to:

Control railway junctions to move your troops: battles are won — or lost — along the Trans-Siberian Railway and strategic lines, in keeping with historical reality.
Negotiate or fight: will you sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk to save the revolution at the cost of territory? Or will you choose all-out confrontation with Germany?
Export the revolution by marching on Warsaw, or consolidate your hold over Russia?

Inspired by real events, the game incorporates historical turning points — such as the fall of the German Empire in 1918 — that will reshuffle the strategic situation.

A visual tribute to revolutionary art

Russia 1917 does not merely tell History: it shows it.

Discover authentic Bolshevik propaganda posters, restored and integrated into the game to immerse the player in the aesthetics and ideology of the period.
A dynamic art gallery: illustrations evolve according to your victories or defeats, creating a unique visual narrative in every game.
A style inspired by the Soviet avant-garde, especially El Lissitzky’s famous Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge, with vivid colours, geometric forms and striking typography.

Fast gameplay, but with depth

Designed to remain accessible without sacrificing depth, Russia 1917 relies on:

A realistic movement system: troops advance along railway lines, reproducing the logistical challenges of the period.
Meaningful political choices that determine the outcome of the civil war.
Several alternative endings, depending on whether you prioritise revolutionary expansion or the survival of the regime.
