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: -The slogan of the Bolshevik leaders in 1917 was “Peace, Land, and Bread.” Bread was desired by everyone, since the war had disrupted transportation and created shortages of food in the cities.

From the moment of his return through late October 1917, Lenin worked for a single goal: to place Russia under Bolshevik control as quickly as possible.
