EDITORS COMMENTS
October 1917: Red Guards of Petrograd on the Move (Mary Evans Picture Library/Rights Managed) This evocative image captures the energy and intensity of the October Revolution in Petrograd, Russia, as Red Guards take to the streets in the final days of the monarchy. The Red Guards, a militia formed from workers and soldiers loyal to the Bolshevik Party, played a pivotal role in the overthrow of the Provisional Government and the establishment of the Soviet Union. In this photograph, Red Guards are seen driving through the streets, waving their guns in the air for the benefit of photographers. The image offers a glimpse into the chaotic and tumultuous atmosphere of the time, as the Red Guards demonstrated their power and commitment to the revolutionary cause. The guards' determined expressions and the sense of movement convey the sense of urgency and excitement that characterized the events of October 1917. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the significant historical moment that was unfolding in Petrograd, as the old order was being replaced by a new one. The Red Guards' actions marked the beginning of a new era in Russian history, one that would be marked by the establishment of a socialist state and the implementation of radical political and social reforms. This image, taken circa 1917, offers a unique and fascinating perspective on the October Revolution and the role of the Red Guards in shaping the course of Russian history. It is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of political upheaval and the enduring impact of revolutionary movements on the world.
