The workers and soviets lost power when Vladimir Lenin, the same man whose slogan had been "All power to the soviets", took over the country in the October Revolution of 1917. Lenin permitted no interference with his plans for imposing socialism on the country therefore he refused to recognize their authority.
The word "soviet" comes from the Russian word for "council". Prior to the revolution, councils of workers' deputies, or representatives, sprang up in many of the larger cities in Russia. The Soviets became a quasi governmental force, because they had the support of the people. They had the political power to organize demonstrations and strikes if the government did not address the needs of the people. The soviets remained in place after the Tsar abdicated to make sure the new Provisional Government did the right thing. All soviets were later abolished by Vladimir Lenin after the Bolshevik Revolution.
The czar agreed to give up some power and create a Russian parliament. (Apex 2021)
absoloute power or the Czar
The Russian Revolution was carried out by Lenin in 1917. Stalin succeeded him in 1924. From this, we can infer that he made Russia an industrial power AFTER the revolution.
The Russian Revolution of 1905 led to limits on the czar's power, but the Russian Revolution of 1917 ended the czarist system altogether.

The influential local councils of workers, peasants, and soldiers formed by the Social Revolutionaries in cities like Petrograd were called "soviets." These soviets played a key role during the Russian Revolution in 1917, representing the interests of the working class and influencing the course of events in the early stages of the revolution. They provided a forum for political debate, decision-making, and organization among the various groups in society.

Two slogans were "Peace! Bread! Land!" and "All Power to the Soviets." Vladimir Lenin concocted these and never fulfilled either one. He did end Russia's part in World War 1, but his takeover of the government in the Bolshevik Revolution set off the Russian Civil War.
After the Russian Revolution, the country became increasingly centralized and authoritarian as Lenin and the Bolshevik Party subordinated the Soviets (the workers councils, or the true manifestation of worker's control over the means of production) under the power of a bureaucratic elite. After Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin went even further into turning the Soviet Union into a totalitarian nightmare.

Not so much a slogan.. more a decree peace land bread It should be counted as a slogan since it appeared on many posters prior to the Bolshevik Revolution. Lenin also used as a rallying cry the slogan: "All power to the Soviets." This meant that all political and military power should be in the hands of the soviets, or councils of workers and soldiers that sprang up in many cities just prior to the revolution.
