There were many reasons why the Russians created a revolution. For one reason, the Russian Czar Nicholas II had sent troops to fight against Germany in World War I. However, it ended up with many people either dead, wounded, or taken in as Germany's prisoners. The second reason is because of food shortages during the winter period of 1916-1917. Many people were starving and were demanding for food. Unfortunately, the czar sent his troops to prevent the people from protesting. Eventually, Nicholas had to leave his throne and the people executed him.
The phase "Peace, land, and bread" is a slogan that is associated with the Russian Revolution. Lenin had promised the workers peace (via communism), their own land, and food (hence the mention of bread). The workers were willing to overthrow the czarist government, hence the execution of Czar Nicholas II.
