"The Provisional Government is overthrown. State power has passed into the hands of the Military Revolutionary Committee, an organ of the Petrograd Council[*] of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, standing at the head of the Petrograd proletariat and garrison.

The things for which the people have struggled: the swift proposal of a democratic peace, the abolition of landlords' property in land, the workers' control of the means of production, the foundation of a Soviet[*] government -- are secured.

Long live the revolution of workers, soldiers, and peasants!

Military-Revolutionary Committee of
the Petrograd Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies"

[*] The Russian word for "council" is "совет" ("soviet").
