Mikhail + OTMAA
Finally found the source about Mikhail Alexandrovich asking to say goodbye to OTMAA during their last meeting at the Alexander Palace, spring 1917:
[Nicholas and Mikhail] stood facing each other, fidgeting all the while, and sometimes one would take hold of the other’s hand or the buttons of his uniform.
“May I see the children?” Michael Alexandrovitch asked me.
“No,” I answered. “I cannot prolong the interview."
“Very well,” the Grand Duke said to his brother. “Kiss them for me.”
They began to take leave of each other. Who could have thought that this was the last time they would ever meet!

Bolshevik seizure of power
'The instrument of the seizure of power in Petrograd, the Military Revolutionary Committee, was created not by the Bolsheviks, but by the Petrograd Soviet as a whole, to organize the defense of the capital against either a second military coup or a German attack. From about 20 October the MRC began taking control of strategic points in the city in order to ensure that the Provisional Government did not prevent the second All-Russian Congress of Soviets from meeting. The final operation was launched on 24-25 October, when Kerenskii tried to close Bolshevik newspapers and arrest leading Bolsheviks. Most participants in the rising thought that they were fighting for "All Power to the Soviets," to be embodied in the form of a coalition socialist government which would endorse the authority of the workers', soldiers', and peasants' assemblies throughout the country.
However, at the Congress of Soviets Lenin was unexpectedly able to set up a single-party Bolshevik government (the "Council of People's Commissars," or Sovnarkom) because by then he had secured the support of a sizeable contingent of SR delegates.
... In most localities the Bolsheviks were able to seize power in similar ways. Where they were popular, they used their majority to dominate local soviets; where they were less popular, they set up or took over an armed militia, usually called a Military Revolutionary Committee, to coerce or replace the soviet and enforce "All Power to the Soviets" on their own terms.
Within a few months, wherever they held power, the Bolsheviks consolidated it by closing down nonsocialist newspapers and establishing their own security police in the form of the Cheka, or Extraordinary Commission for Struggle against Speculation and Counterrevolution. They allowed popular elections to the Constituent Assembly to go ahead, but when it became clear that the SRs were to be the largest single party in it, the Bolsheviks simply closed the assembly down.'

The Uses of History, 28 – What Good Are Revolutions?, 3
The Russian Revolution of 1917 passed through two distinct iterations. The first was a precarious attempt at Social Democracy which was severely handicapped by the effort to keep Russia involved in World War I. Throughout this period, from March to November 1917, the Duma never achieved stable control. It faced constant challenge from the radical parties, but especially the Bolsheviks led by…

The biggest difference between Battletech and Gundam 0079:
Suppose you had a political figure whose personal principles led them to secede from the current Earth-centric social order. They then founded a new society further out in space. In this society, they establish a new strain of super/meta-humans, as well as using mech suits, which are better than the ones that said Earth-centric social order uses. Now, suppose that they attack said Earth-centric order with the purposes of putting Earth under their control again, although frequently hindered by contests for influence among the factions of their own society:
Would their descendants be more likely to stab you in the front (Battletech) or back (0079)?

The Uses of History, 25 – Russia the Long-Suffering, 7 – Revolution 1917, 2
(Image Credit – Getty Images)
Russia has never outgrown autocracy and never experienced even moderately successful democracy.
Nicholas II, the last Tsar, fell from power on March 8, 1917, and there was a brief (in terms of historical time) interlude of seven months in which there was a struggle to see what would ensue. This ended in early November when the Bolsheviks, the supreme radicals among…
