Several large units had rebelled against central command and were refusing to fight. So the priorities of Lenin were two: to win the immediate allegiance of workers and peasants by declaring the abolition of private property and the redistribution of land among the peasantry (Decree on Land), and to disentangle Russia from the War (Decree on Peace).
