We study the Linial--Meshulam model of random two-dimensional simplicial complexes. One of our main results states that for $p\ll n^{-1}$ a random 2-complex $Y$ collapses simplicially to a graph and, in particular, the fundamental group $\pi_1(Y)$ is free and $H_2(Y)=0$, a.a.s. We also prove that, if the probability parameter $p$ satisfies $p\gg n^{-1/2+\epsilon}$, where $\epsilon>0$, then an arbitrary finite two-dimensional simplicial complex admits a topological embedding into a random 2-complex, with probability tending to one as $n\to \infty$. We also establish several related results, for example we show that for $p
