Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -’Peace, Land and Bread’ was a popular Bolshevik slogan during the Russian Revolution. It captured the three main demands of the Russian people: they wanted Russia to withdraw from the World War, redistribute land among its farmers, and provide food security.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lenin had promised “Peace, Land, and Bread.” After several false starts, the Bolsheviks successfully negotiated a separate peace with the Germans, the famous Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Decrees seemed to conform to the popular Bolshevik slogan “Peace, Land and Bread", taken up by the masses during the July Days (July 1917), an uprising of workers and military forces.

Detailed explanation-5: -Did Lenin fulfill his promises to the Russian people? He did leave the war with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, but with a large cost. The land he gave up held 25% of the population, 27% of the farmland, and 26% of railroads. With War communism Peasants lost power over land, this broke his promise of Peace land and bread.
