EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Russian history as members of the Red Guard from the Putilov Factory gather on the steps of the Smolny Institute in October 1917. The Smolny Institute, a former girls' school located in St. Petersburg, Russia, would become the site of Lenin's coup d'état, marking the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution. The Red Guard, armed workers and soldiers loyal to the Bolshevik Party, are seen here in determined formation, their faces set with resolve. The photograph offers a glimpse into the tense atmosphere of the time, as the Russian people prepared to overthrow the Provisional Government and establish the Soviet Union. The Putilov Factory, where many of these Red Guards were employed, played a significant role in the revolution. It was here that the Bolsheviks had established their headquarters and where they had printed and distributed propaganda materials. The factory's workers, many of whom were members of the Metalworkers Union, were key players in the uprising. The steps of the Smolny Institute, with their ornate wrought-iron railings and grandeur, provide a stark contrast to the military precision of the Red Guard. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the historical events that unfolded on this very spot, as Russia transitioned from the old regime to the new Soviet order. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, offering a unique perspective on the Russian Revolution and the role of the Red Guard in shaping the country's future. Its authenticity and historical significance make it an essential addition to any collection of Russian history or revolutionary-era imagery.
