Despite moving toward one-party rule, how did Bolsheviks present their steps as pro-people?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: As fulfilment of demands for peace, land and bread
The correct answer is A. The Bolsheviks connected their programme with the immediate demands expressed by workers, soldiers, and peasants: an end to the war, redistribution or transfer of land to cultivators, and relief from food insecurity. The slogan “Peace, Land and Bread” helped them present revolutionary measures as a response to popular suffering and therefore as legitimate or pro-people, even when political opposition was restricted. Option B is wrong because the revolution opposed tsarist and aristocratic privilege. Options C and D do not express the stated popular demands and cannot explain the government’s claim to legitimacy.
