12th Leon Moscow Reviewing Staff Trotsky 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of determination and resolve in the face of adversity, as Soviet military leader Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) reviews his troops on the outskirts of Moscow in December 11, 1919. The Russian Civil War was raging, and the Red Army, under Trotsky's command, was facing the final push against the White Army, led by General Anton Denikin, who threatened to overthrow the Bolshevik government. The scene is set in the snowy outskirts of Moscow, with Trotsky and his staff, dressed in winter uniforms, standing atop a horse-drawn cart. Trotsky's intense gaze is fixed on the troops as they pass by, his hand raised in a gesture of approval or correction. The soldiers, wearing their worn and tattered uniforms, march with a sense of purpose and discipline, their faces set in determined expressions. The photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer for the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the resilience and tenacity of the Red Army during a critical moment in the Russian Civil War. The image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of soldiers and military leaders during this tumultuous period in Russian history. The photograph is dated April 21, 1919, and is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online. It is an important reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that shaped the course of Russian history and the world as we know it today.
