<div type="numeric" n="1">
<head>INSTRUCTION TO PEASANTS</head>
<p>In answer to the numerous enquiries coming from peasants, it is hereby explained that
the whole power in the country is from now on held by the Soviets of the Workers’,
Soldiers’, and Peasants’ Deputies. The Workers’ Revolution, after having conquered in
Petrograd and in Moscow, is now conquering in all other centres of Russia. The
Workers’ and Peasants’ Government safeguards the interests of the masses of
peasantry, the poorest of them; it is with the majority of peasants and workers
against the landowners, and against the capitalists.</p>
<p>Hence the Soviets of Peasants’ Deputies, and before all the District Soviets, and
subsequently those of the Provinces, are from now on and until the Constituent
Assembly meets, full-powered bodies of State authority in their localities. All
landlords’ titles to the land are cancelled by the second All-Russian Congress of
Soviets. A decree regarding the land has already been issued by the present
Provisional Workers’ and Peasants’ Government. On the basis of the above decree all
lands hitherto belonging to landlords now pass entirely and wholly into the hands of
the Soviets of Peasants’ Deputies. The <hi rend="italic">Volost</hi> (a group of
several villages forms a <hi rend="italic">Volost</hi>) Land Committees are
immediately to take over all land from the landlords, and to keep a strict account
over it, watching that order be maintained, and that the whole estate be well
guarded, seeing that from now on all private estates become public property and must
therefore be protected by the people themselves.</p>
<p>All orders given by the <hi rend="italic">Volost</hi> Land Committees, adopted with
the assent of the District Soviets of Peasants’ Deputies, in fulfilment of the
decrees issued by the revolutionary power, are absolutely legal and are to be
forthwith and irrefutably brought into execution.</p>
<p>The Workers’ and Peasants’ Government appointed by the second All-Russian Congress of
Soviets has received the name of the Council of People’s Commissars.</p>
<p>The Council of People’s Commissars summons the Peasants to take the whole power into
their hands in every locality.</p>
<p>The workers will in every way absolutely and entirely support the peasants, arrange
for them all that is required in connection with machines and tools, and in return
they request the peasants to help with the transport of grain.</p>

<p>The full-powered Congress of Peasants’ Soviets met about a week later, and continued
for several weeks. Its history is merely an expanded version of the history of the
“Extraordinary Conference.” At first the great majority of the delegates were hostile
to the Soviet Government, and supported the reactionary wing. Several days later the
assembly was supporting the moderates with Tchernov. And several days after that the
vast majority of the Congress were voting for the faction of Maria Spiridonova, and
sending their representatives into the <hi rend="italic">Tsay-ee-kah</hi> at Smolny….
The Right Wing then walked out of the Congress and called a Congress of its own,
which went on, dwindling from day to day, until it finally dissolved….</p>
