Well, honey, Lenin promised peace, bread, and land in his April Theses because he knew how to appeal to the masses. People were tired of World War I, hungry from food shortages, and fed up with the lack of land reform. So, Lenin dangled these promises like a carrot on a stick to rally support for the Bolshevik cause. It was all about gaining power and overthrowing the Provisional Government, plain and simple.

DevinOh, dude, Lenin was just trying to spice things up a bit, you know? Like, he wanted to appeal to the people and give them some hope or whatever. So, he was all like, "Peace, bread, and land for everyone!" It was basically his way of saying, "Hey, vote for me, and I'll hook you up with the good stuff."
Lenin promised peace, bread, and land in his April Theses to gain support for the Bolshevik Party during the Russian Revolution of 1917. The promises addressed the immediate needs and demands of the Russian people, who were suffering from the effects of World War I, food shortages, and land inequality. By offering these basic necessities, Lenin aimed to rally the masses behind the Bolsheviks and further the revolution.
At the time of the initial Russian Revolution in March 1917, called the February Revolution, the chief complaints against the rule of the Tsars had been the country's involvement in World War 1, the inequitable system of land ownership and shortages of food in the cities. Using the simple promise of "Peace, land and bread" Lenin promised an end to all the ills that provoked the February Revolution. The Provisional Government that took control of the country after that revolution continued the unpopular war, was not inclined to institute radical land reform and was as unable as the Tsarist government to end shortages of food in the cities. Lenin's promises made government by the Bolsheviks more appealing to the soldiers, peasants and workers than government by the existing Provisional Government.

What 3 things did Lenin and the Bolsheviks promise Russian people?
Peace, Bread and Land

Lenin's 3 word promise was "Peace! Bread! Land!"
What was Vladimir Lenin's campaign promise?
Lenin's promise to the people of Russia was "Peace! Land! Bread!" By 1917 the Russian people were ready for a change in government because Tsar Nicholas II's government simply no longer worked. "Peace, Land, Bread" meant three basic desires of the Russian people. Peace meant ending Russian involvement in World War I. Incompetence in the army led to huge losses in life. Land meant the abolition of private property and a redistribution of land. Bread meant an end to widespread shortages of basic foods. The Tsarist rule in Russia had already been ended in the February Revolution, but the problems that led to that revolution persisted even with the new government. In three words, Lenin captured the needs of the Russian people to the extent that they were willing to follow him in setting up another government. With that said, the new Provisional government had little time to change Russian society. Lenin changed it with a dictatorship of the Bolshevik Party. It was not a dictatorship of the working class.
