The Bolshevik called for nationalisation of the land so that land would be fully controlled by the Soviet of Peasants'Deputies, which were genuinely democratic bodies, and not by the rural commune which included rich peasants and were not uniform socially.
But since the peasants and masses of Russia regarded the egalitarian use of land as the most equitable way of solving the agrarian problem, the Bolshevik Party, headed by Lenin, decided to formalise it into law.
