EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "October night of 1917, at Smolny, St Petersburg" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by Rudolph Frenz in 1929, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of the Russian Revolution. The image depicts a Russian revolutionary amidst the chaos and fervor of that fateful October night. The worker-turned-soldier stands tall and resolute, armed with a gun and bayonet. His determined gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to the cause of communism. The painting serves as a powerful piece of political propaganda, showcasing the strength and unity of the proletariat during this tumultuous period. It symbolizes their fight against oppression and their quest for social justice. The streets are filled with workers from all walks of life - tradesmen, laborers - united under one common goal: to overthrow the old order and establish a new society based on equality. The presence of cannons further emphasizes their readiness for revolution. As we delve into this artwork from nearly a century ago, we are reminded not only of Russia's turbulent past but also its enduring legacy. This image encapsulates an era marked by radical change and ideological conflict that would shape not only Russia but also global politics for years to come. Frenz's masterful portrayal invites us to reflect on our own roles as agents for change in today's world while paying homage to those who fought bravely for their beliefs so long ago.
