ResumoPeasant life is known—it is to eat in order to work, to work in order to eat, and, beside that, to be born, to bear, and to die. Our revolution is a rebellion in the name of the conscious, rational, purposeful, and dynamic principle of life, against the elemental, senseless, biological automatism of life; that is, against the peasant roots of our old Russian history. Boris Pilnyak, The Volga Falls to the Caspian Sea We cannot ignore the decision of the rank and file of the people, even though we may disagree with it. In the fire of experience, applying the decree in practice, and carrying it out locally, the peasants will themselves realize where the truth lies. Lenin, introduction to the Land Decree, November 8, 1917
