apr 5, 1917 - April Theses

Description:

April 1917 -
Lenin set this out as soon as he arrived in Petrograd

Peace - appealed to war-weary soldiers and workers and peasants who had suffered due to the war
Land - appealed to Russian peasants who wanted the revolution to lead to land reform, and who, over time, had become frustrated at the Provisional Government's refusal to distribute land
Bread - promised an end to the hardship of the war

He also said 'all power to the soviets' as workers trusted the Soviets more than the Provisional government
