I've never heard referring to it as "Russian".
It was called the Great Socialist Revolution of October or something similar back in the day by the commies. Was ridiculed that not one word is true from the name: wasn't great, wasn't socialist, wasn't revolution, and wasn't in October.

If I recall it right "bolshevik" means "majority". Even their name did not reflect reality.
