Question

Why do you think the Bolshevik slogan of “Peace, Land, and Bread” had such an appeal at this time?

Answer 1

The Bolshevik Revolution
Lenin and the Bolsheviks soon gained control of the Petrograd soviet, as well as the soviets in other major Russian cities. By the fall of 1917, people in the cities were rallying to the call, “All power to the soviets.” Lenin’s slogan—“Peace, Land, and Bread”—gained widespread appeal. Lenin decided to take action.

Answer 2

"Lenin gained the support of the Russian peasants and factory workers by promising them peace, land, and bread and preaching the ideas of Karl Marx's communism. Lenin's slogan gave the proletariat (poor peasants and factory workers) hope for a better future under communism."
