Moscow Revolution Square: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the scene in Moscow's Revolution Square shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1920. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, as horse-drawn carriages and carts fill the streets, their occupants seemingly unfazed by the historic events unfolding around them. The Grand Hotel, a prominent landmark located on the left-hand side of the square, stands tall and proud, its ornate facade a testament to a more opulent time. The Revolution Square, now known as Ploshchad Revolutsii, was once the heart of Moscow's commercial district. The area was a bustling hub of activity, with traders and merchants from all corners of the Russian Empire coming to buy and sell their wares. But the events of October 1917 changed everything. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized power in a series of armed uprisings and street battles, marking the end of the Romanov dynasty and the beginning of the Soviet era. In the aftermath of the Revolution, Moscow underwent a period of transformation. The city's grand buildings, including the Grand Hotel, were repurposed to serve the needs of the new Soviet government. Horse-drawn traffic continued to dominate the streets, as the city struggled to adapt to the new order. This photograph, taken circa 1920, provides a unique window into this transitional period in Russian history. Today, Revolution Square remains an important historical site, a reminder of the tumultuous events that shaped Russia's modern history. The Grand Hotel, now known as the Moscow Marriott Grand Hotel, continues to welcome guests from around the world, offering a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the city's rich cultural heritage.
