Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After the Bolshevik seizure of power in November 1917, Lenin ratified the redistribution of land which had already been seized by peasants. This measure was key to gaining support from the peasant population, who made up the majority of Russia's population. Lenin redistributed land to peasants who previously had none and often had to work the land of wealthy landlords. This move helped cement the Bolsheviks' hold on power in the countryside.
