"All Power to the Soviets" is actually a pretty bad translation of "Vsya vlast sovetam," and it wouldn't sound so strange if it had been properly translated. I sometimes get the feeling that these translations from Russian were done badly on purpose so as to make them sound exotic. Anyhoo, it should be "all government in the councils."

It's actually captured in strange sounding slogans, like All Power to the Soviets.
