Definitely not. There's literally like 600 million people in the core added together, you do not need even a tenth of them to be active revolutionaries for something like that to work.
Think about 50 million people actively erm... doing a Marxism-Leninism. There's no stopping that.
In another post, a comrade brought to my attention that just months before the revolution there were only 8,000 party members in the Bolsheviks. That should bring you relief.
Apologies, just did a reading and it said that in February of 1917 they had 24,000 members. By the October of that year they had 200,000.
Still, 24,000 is a very small number. I'm sure it had to do with the increasingly worsening material conditions and diligent party work done by the Bolsheviks.
The Bolsheviks were also not the only ones fighting. It was a broad coalition of hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention millions of defecting soldiers.

How did 8 thousand got a revolution in a country of 100 million?

NO NEED TO RAIN ON THE PARADE WITH A DOSE OF REALISM OKAY
Jk, I figured. But still, the fact that it was the Bolsheviks that actually were able to make it happen and seize power is inspiring
