Hint: The Decrees appeared to be in line with the popular Bolshevik slogan "Peace, Land, and Bread," which was adopted by the people during the July Days revolt of workers and military forces in July 1917. The slogan encapsulated the peasantry, armed forces', and proletariat's grievances in a single phrase (the working-class sections of Russian society).

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the given options:
Fr. Gapon was a dynamic speaker and effective organiser who could be sent to the Petitions Prikaz (office) in Moscow, or directly to the. disapproved of the procession because of its lack of political demands.

Oryol is the administrative capital of the Oryol Oblast in Russia. The fortress's name is uncertain; it may not have been known as Oryol at the time. On Joseph Stalin's orders, notable political prisoners were executed in the Medvedev Forest massacre outside Oryol on September 11, 1941.

The February Revolution (called as such because of Russia's usage of the WATCH: Vladimir Lenin: Voice of Revolution on HISTORY) took place in Russia in February 1917. Vault Protesters battled with police, backed by 90,000 men and women on strike. The Petrograd army garrison was summoned out on March 11 to put down the rebellion.

Around 10,000 women from St. Petersburg's capital marched in a parade on March 8, 1917, demanding "Peace and Bread." Mach Revolution was another name for this revolution.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: The Russian Revolution occurred in 1917 when peasants and working-class Russians revolted against Tsar Nicholas II's regime, led by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Soviet Union was founded by a new communist government.
