The Russians had a revolution because they wanted change. They were desperate and the government was very bad. The country was lacking food and it was very expensive. During the revolution man people were killed. They didn't have enough guns so they used to send guys out on the field without weapons and they had to pick up guns off the floor. The main person in control of the revolution was Czar. He died during the revolution. The quote peace, land and bread means like Russia. They wanted peace and a good government and they were defending there land and bread means like they needed food for it to be cheaper. The Bolsheviks believed in the teachings of Karl Marx and they were very violent. The Bolsheviks defeated the provisional government and Lenin took over Russia.
