Before communism, Russia was a monarchy, an autocratic regime lead by a Tsar. This regime ended in the year of 1917 with the February Revolution of 1917
This Revolution was originated as a reaction to the Tsar policies, and because under his rule, the participation of Russia in the World War I left the country in bad conditions. It began as an spontaneous popular demonstration due to poor living conditions. Soon, the military, socialists and liberals joined the revolution. The goal was to overthrow the King and stablished a democratic regime.
However, the differences between the new leaders triggered inestability, which led to the October Revolution of 1917 which ended with the bolshevik victory. By the end of the October Revolution, Soviet Russia was stablished and the Russian Civil War iniciated in order to hold the power by the bolsheviks. The change can be considered as gradually since it took 2 revolutions and a civil war to maintain, but also it was not the result of a policy evolution or minor reforms, but violent imposition.

Answer:
Indian trade
Explanation:
We don´t have a categoric knowledge about the origins of Islam in Indonesia, but according to historical evidence available, it seems that trade played a major role in the arrival of Islam in Indonesia in the 13th century. Two Muslim trading kingdoms existed in northern Sumatra, Samudra-Pasai and Perlak by then. At Samudra-Pasai, there´s a royal tomb completely inscribed in Arabic dated 1297. Further developments in the region also point at an expansion of trade with India and in the Indian Ocean as a major factor in the spreading of Islam in Indonesia.
March 4, 1933, was perhaps the Great Depression's darkest hour. The stock market had plunged 85% from its high in 1929, and nearly one-fourth of the workforce was unemployed. In the cities, jobless men were lining up for soup and bread. In rural areas, farmers whose land was being foreclosed were talking openly of revolution. The crowd that gathered in front of the Capitol that day to watch Franklin D. Roosevelt's Inauguration had all but given up on America. They were, a reporter observed, "as silent as a group of mourners around a grave."
Roosevelt's Inaugural Address was a pitch-perfect combination of optimism ("The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"), consolation (the nation's problems "concern, thank God, only material things") and resolve ("This nation asks for action, and action now"). The speech won rave reviews. Even the rock-ribbed Republican Chicago Tribune lauded its "dominant note of courageous confidence." F.D.R. had buoyed the spirits of the American people — and nearly 500,000 of them wrote to him at the White House in the following week to tell him so.
Hours after the Inauguration, Roosevelt made history in a more behind-the-scenes way. He gathered his Cabinet in his White House office and had Justice Benjamin Cardozo swear them in as a group, the first time that had ever been done. F.D.R. joked that he was doing it so they could "receive an extra day's pay," but the real reason was that he wanted his team to get to work immediately.
And that team came through brilliantly. In the next 100 days — O.K., 105, but who's counting? — his Administration shepherded 15 major bills through Congress. It was the most intense period of lawmaking ever undertaken by Congress — a "presidential barrage of ideas and programs," historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. observed, "unlike anything known to American history."
