No, this coming November is.

The Russians were still using the Julian Calendar at the time, so there is an 11 day difference; October 25th 1917 (as measured by the calendar then in use in Russia) occurred exactly 100 years before November 6th 2017 (as measured by the calendar in use today).

I did not know that about the calendar. But I really wasn't trying to be exact.
