EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1920: The Populace Flee Sebastopol as the Russian Red Army Advance, with a Communist Victory Imminent This evocative photograph captures the desperation and urgency of the people of Sebastopol as they evacuate their city in the face of the advancing Russian Red Army. The Russian Civil War, which had been raging since 1918, was nearing its end, and the Red Army, led by Leon Trotsky, was making significant gains against the White Army, led by General Denikin. The image shows a chaotic scene of people, many of them carrying their belongings on their backs or in carts, fleeing the city in a panicked rush. The streets are filled with horses and wagons, adding to the sense of chaos and urgency. In the background, smoke rises from the city, indicating the destruction that has already taken place. The people in this photograph are not just soldiers or political leaders, but ordinary men, women, and children, who are caught up in the larger events of the Russian Civil War. The fear and uncertainty in their faces are palpable, as they leave behind their homes and communities, unsure of what the future holds. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the devastating impact it can have on innocent civilians. It is a powerful image that captures the sense of upheaval and change that was taking place in Russia at the end of the Civil War, and the uncertainty and fear that came with it.
