- The Establishment of Bolshevik Authority
- Lenin had always stated that he wanted the power to be given to the Soviets
- However, these were multi-party organisations and Lenin did not want to share power with the SRs or Mensheviks
- Some SRs and Mensheviks walked out of the Second All-Russian Congress on 25 October
- This was because they realised that the new government was going to be Bolshevik dominated
- The Congress voted to create a new constitution with the Sovnarkom at the top, Lenin as chairman and overall leader
- Below the Sovnarkom, there was the All-Russian Congress of Soviets which was Bolshevik dominated
- The first decrees issues before December 1917 ended Russia fighting in WWI and the Decree on Land authorises peasant land seizures
- Lenin had always stated that he wanted the power to be given to the Soviets
