And by that I mean: Are there any kinds of statistics that show how much of the administration of the Imperial government continued working for the Soviet government. From civil servants and postal workers to police and taxmen and officers.

Lenin's initial strategy was more of an insurgent one: Rather than building your ability to administer, focus on denying that ability from your enemies first. The top-down bureaucracy only came afterwards. Naturally this created a chaotic chasm between the Imperial government and the Communist one.

basically everything good like science, education, industry etc was carried over from Imperial Russia with many people forced to work for the regime, everything bad like starvation, gulags, massacres was bolshevik novelty
