Decree on Peace
W. I. Lenin / Public domain · resizedfile

The Decree on Peace (Russian: Декрет о мире), written by Vladimir Lenin, was passed by the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies on the 8 November [O.S. 26 October] 1917, following the October Revolution. It was published in the Izvestiya newspaper, #208, 9 November [O.S. 27 October] 1917. Proposing an immediate withdrawal of Russia from World War I, the decree was ultimately implemented through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Woodrow Wilson's famous "Fourteen Points" of January 1918 were largely a response to this decree.
