First issue of Pravda, central organ of the Bolshevik
Party. By order of the Executive Committee of the Soviet, the workers printed
only those publications approved by the Soviet. That meant no more “right press”
for the time being; the decision was reversed some days later under pressure
from the bourgeoisie.
Among Pravda’s first editors was the left-Bolshevik
Molotov.
Meanwhile, the workers
returned to work under conditions, including eight-hour days, proposed by the Soviet.
Word of the revolution began filtering through to the soldiers at the front,
where the Bolshevik peace policy was not widely accepted.
