Military men loyal to government seized the building of two Bolshevik newspapers.\tMilitary revolutionary committee ordered to seize government offices and arrest the ministers in response. The “Aurora” ship shelled the winter palace. Other vessels took over military points.\tThe city was under committee’s control and ministers had surrendered. The majority of All Russian Congress of soviets approved the Bolshevik action. There was heavy fighting in Moscow and finally Bolsheviks controlled the Moscow-Petrograd area. | |
