EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the tumultuous history of Russia's July 1917 Revolution. The image depicts members of the Red Guard, a left-wing militia, standing at attention outside the Kseshinskaya Mansion in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg). The mansion was the home of the renowned ballerina, Matilda Kseshinskaya, who was once a favorite of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicolas II. The Red Guard, clad in their distinctive red uniforms, were a formidable presence during the revolution, playing a significant role in the overthrow of the Provisional Government and the eventual seizure of power by the Bolsheviks. The mansion, located in the heart of Petrograd, became a symbol of the old regime's decadence and was targeted by the revolutionary forces. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical events that unfolded in Russia during this period. The Red Guard's stern, determined expressions convey the intensity of the political upheaval that was taking place. The grandeur of the mansion, with its ornate facade and manicured gardens, stands in stark contrast to the soldiers' military precision, highlighting the clash between the old and the new. Matilda Kseshinskaya, a talented dancer who had once graced the imperial courts, was forced to flee Russia following the Bolshevik takeover. Her connection to the fallen Tsarist regime made her a target, and she spent the rest of her life in exile. The Kseshinskaya Mansion, like many other symbols of the old order, was repurposed and transformed by the new Soviet government. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical events that unfolded in Russia during the July 1917 Revolution and the profound impact they had on the country's future.
