From the War-Revolutionary Committee of the Petrograd Soviet of Workmen and Soldiers Deputies.
To the Citizens of Russia:
The Provisional Government is deposed. The State power has passed into the hands of the organ of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers and Soldiers' Deputies, the Military Revolutionary Committee, which stands at the head of the Petrograd proletariat and garrison.
The aims for which the people were fighting-immediate proposal of a democratic peace, abolition of landlord property-rights in the land, labor control aver production, creation of a Soviet Government,—these aims have been achieved.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION OF WORKMEN, SOLDIERS AND PEASANTS!
Military-Revolutionary Committee
of the Petrograd Soviet of
Workers and Soldiers' Deputies.
