In the wake of the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, established the First Council of People's Commissars as the new governing body of Russia. This council included prominent Bolshevik leaders such as Leon Trotsky, who served as the Commissar for Foreign Affairs, and Joseph Stalin, who held the position of Commissar for Nationalities. The formation of this council was a crucial turning point, as it signaled the dismantling of the existing Provisional Government that had been in power since the February Revolution earlier that year. The establishment was a response to the need for a structured government to manage the sweeping changes that the revolution had brought about, particularly in the wake of war and civil strife.The council took immediate actions to address the pressing issues facing the Russian populace, including land distribution to peasants, peace negotiations with Germany, and the establishment of workers' rights. Lenin's leadership reinforced the Bolshevik ideology of 'Peace, Land, and Bread,' and aimed to consolidate power among the workers and peasants. The decisions made by the council were pivotal; they not only transformed Russian society at the moment but also set a precedent for future governance in the Soviet Union.The creation of the First Council was marked by a deep ideological commitment to constructing a socialist state that would, in the vision of the Bolsheviks, lead to the eventual establishment of a classless society. In the subsequent years, this council would evolve, facing numerous challenges including civil war and foreign intervention, yet it laid the foundations for the emergence of the Soviet Union as a global superpower.
