EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Russian history as members of the Red Guard from the Putilov Factory are issued with guns and taught how to use them, in October 1917. The Red Guard, a militia formed to protect the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution, are seen here in a disciplined formation, each holding a rifle or revolver. Their determined expressions and focused gaze suggest that they are fully engaged in the training session, preparing for the battles that lie ahead. The backdrop of the industrial Putilov Factory, with its smokestacks and machinery, underscores the connection between the working class and the revolutionary movement. The October Revolution, which began on October 7, 1917, marked a turning point in Russian history, leading to the establishment of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the events of that tumultuous time, offering a unique perspective on the role of the Red Guard in the revolution. It is a testament to the power of the people, armed with both their beliefs and their weapons, to bring about significant change. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of education and training in the context of political upheaval and the need for a well-prepared and disciplined force to protect the ideals of a new regime. This historical photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable addition to any collection of Russian Revolutionary history or military history. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during a time of great upheaval and the enduring power of determination and unity in the face of adversity.
