The Communists, led by the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin, won the Russian Revolution primarily due to their promise of "peace, land, and bread," which resonated with war-weary soldiers, peasants, and urban workers. Their effective organization, discipline, and ability to adapt to changing circumstances allowed them to seize key strategic locations, including the Winter Palace in October 1917. Additionally, the disarray and lack of unity among their opponents, including the Provisional Government and various anti-Bolshevik factions, facilitated the Bolsheviks' rise to power. Ultimately, their ability to mobilize support and take decisive action during critical moments secured their victory.
The Communists were overthrowing the Tzars.
