Battalion of Death girls who have enlisted. On November 7th
Battalion of Death girls who have enlisted. On November 7th, 1917 the provisional government in Russia was overthrown by the Bolshevik movement, bringing Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky to power. Lenin signed a peace treaty with Germany, pulling Russia out of the World War I. However, the newly formed Red Army, under Trotskys leadership still had much fighting to do. Russia became split into the Red s, the Bolshevik pro-revoloutionaries and the Whites, supporters of the Czar Nicholas II. The Battalion of Death was one of several female battalions on both sides. Russian women signed up to fight for the future of their homeland. The only stipulation being that they had to shave their heads in order to be allowed to fight at the front

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the courageous Battalion of Death girls who fearlessly enlisted during a tumultuous time in Russian history. On November 7th, 1917, as the provisional government was overthrown by the Bolshevik movement, power shifted to Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. While Lenin signed a peace treaty with Germany, withdrawing Russia from World War I, the newly formed Red Army under Trotsky's leadership still faced significant battles ahead. In this image from the early 20th century, we witness these brave women who joined various female battalions on both sides of the conflict. Driven by their unwavering commitment to their homeland's future, they willingly sacrificed their femininity by shaving their heads to earn a place at the front lines. Russia became divided into two factions: The Reds - Bolshevik pro-revolutionaries led by Lenin and Trotsky - and The Whites - supporters of Czar Nicholas II. Amidst this chaos and division, these determined women stood tall with guns in hand. George Mewes' photograph serves as an enduring testament to these extraordinary women who defied societal norms and fought alongside men in World War I. Their unwavering spirit embodies resilience and determination amidst adversity. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured within Memory Lane Prints' collection, let us honor these valiant soldiers whose bravery transcends gender boundaries while acknowledging that commercial use is not associated with this profound image.
