Russian Revolution
Kornilov's case, however, was short-lived, for it gained power from the Bolsheviks in Petrograd in the workforce and the working class and undermined the credibility of the Interim Socialist and Liberal Government because of Kadet's (Democracy) Democracy's involvement in Prime Minister Kerensky's case. This chapter of the Russian Revolution was less effective as the government was ousted and replaced by the Soviet Socialist Republic under Lenin's leadership. The situation culminated in the October 1917 Revolution when the Bolshevik armed forces and the Petrograd troops defeated the Interim Government and handed over their power to the Soviets.

Famous Greek Orators
The 10 Greek orators from Athens were said to have been the most influential orators of ancient Greece during the 5th and 4th century BCE by Aristophanes of Byzantium. These writers of judicial history are what follow after the great literature of legends such as the Iliad or Homer. They are labeled as the Attic orators because of their regional locale and births; the state of Attica in Greece, in which Athens is located. Many of these orators worked as logographers (speech writers), teachers and some were said to have written their own treatise on rhetoric. The ten orators are: Antiphon; Andocides; Lysias; Isocrates; Isaeus; Demosthenes; Aeschines; Lycurgus; Hyperides and Dinarchus.
