To Citizens of Russia

The Provisional Government is deposed. The state power is transferred into the hands of the Military Revolutionary Committee, an organ of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, which heads the Petrograd proletariat and garrison.

The cause for which the people has been struggling — immediate call for democratic peace, liquidation of ownership of land by w:landed nobility, w:workers' control over the industry, creation of the Soviet government — is ensured.

Long live the revolution of workers, soldiers and peasants!
