Coup Guard Institute Lenin Members Proclaim Putilov Revolution Smolny
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Russian history as members of the Putilov Red Guard stand proudly on the steps of the Smolny Institute in October 1917. The Smolny Institute, a former girls' school located in St. Petersburg, Russia, would become the site of Lenin's coup d'état, marking the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution. The Red Guard, an armed militia formed from workers of the Putilov Factory, played a crucial role in the October Revolution. They were instrumental in securing key locations in the city and preventing counter-revolutionary forces from regaining control. In this image, the Red Guards exude a sense of determination and resolve, their stern expressions and clenched fists reflecting their unwavering commitment to the cause. The October Revolution, which began on October 25, 1917 (November 7, 1917 in the Gregorian calendar), would fundamentally alter the course of Russian history. Lenin's proclamation of the coup from the Smolny Institute signaled the end of the Provisional Government and the beginning of the Soviet Union. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the events leading up to this historic moment, offering a window into the passion and intensity of the Russian Revolution." This photograph is a powerful reminder of the significant role the Putilov Red Guard played in the October Revolution, and the impact their actions had on the course of Russian history. It is an essential addition to any collection of historical images, and a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve important moments in time.
