The promises of the Bolsheviks were appealing to the Russian people primarily due to the widespread discontent with the existing social and economic conditions. Their pledges of "Peace, Land, and Bread" resonated with soldiers weary from World War I, peasants seeking land reform, and urban workers demanding better living conditions.

This combination of addressing immediate needs and long-term societal change contributed to their popularity.
Peace, Bread and Land
Many Russian people supported the revolution due to widespread dissatisfaction with the existing political and economic conditions. The hardships of World War I, coupled with food shortages and social inequality, fueled discontent among the working class and peasants. Additionally, the desire for political reform and an end to autocratic rule motivated many to join revolutionary movements, hoping for a better future and greater social justice. The Bolsheviks' promises of "peace, land, and bread" resonated strongly with those seeking immediate change.

The Russian people were on the verge of a revolution and just needed a little push. With enough time, the Russian people would have stood up and overthrown the government anyway. Whether or not the Bolsheviks would been the ones to lead the revolution is left to a guess. With that said, it cannot be overlooked that the March revolution had already happened. The Bolsheviks undermined the democratically inclined Provisional government. The Bolsheviks were interested in power not justice as history would soon demonstrate.
Memorial to the People Killed by Bolsheviks was created in 2009.
