EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Lenin, during his high school days in Simbirsk, Russia. Taken in 1887 by the talented Russian photographer Leonard de Selva, this rare print offers a glimpse into the formative years of one of history's most influential figures. In this portrait, Lenin exudes an air of youthful determination and intellect. His piercing gaze reflects a mind already brimming with revolutionary ideas that would shape the course of Russian history. The composition beautifully highlights his sharp features and intense expression, capturing the essence of his character even at such a tender age. As we delve into the image's details, we are transported back to late 19th-century Russia—a time when political unrest was brewing beneath the surface. This photograph serves as a reminder that great leaders often emerge from humble beginnings. It is fascinating to witness how this young student would go on to become not only one of communism's founding fathers but also an emblematic figure whose ideology resonated across continents. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece offers us an intimate connection to Lenin's early life—an era marked by idealism and fervor for change. Through de Selva's lens, we gain insight into both the man behind the revolution and the historical context that shaped him. This photograph stands as a testament to Lenin's enduring legacy while serving as an invaluable artifact in our exploration of Russian history and its impact on global politics.
