The Council of People's Commissars was formed after the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, and passed many decrees before the election of the constituent assembly in 1918 implementing socialism in Russia. These included:
the Decree on Land (taking all land from landowners without compensation and nationalizing it),
the Decree on Peace (to exit WWI immediately, which led to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk),
the Decree on the Hours of Work (limiting the workday to 8 hours and the work week to 48 hours),
the Decree on Social Insurance (introduced social insurance, covered by the person's employer),
the Decree on the Rights of the Peoples of Russia to Self-Determination,
the Decree on the Transfer of Power and the Means of Production to the Toilers (the workers had control of their workplaces through the soviets),
the Decree Abolishing Class Distinctions,
the Decree Nationalizing Banks (this annoyed most of the Western world because Lenin refused to pay back countries to which Russia owed money),
the Decrees on the Army (resulting in the election of all commanders, the elimination of most ranks and titles, elimination of signs of distinction and decorations and elimination of saluting),
and the Decrees abolishing Church Marriage and Establishing Civil Marriage and Divorce.
These aren't all of them, but it is a list of most of the important ones.
