EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of history - the identity card used by Vladimir Lenin, under the alias of worker Konstantin Ivanov, to elude police in 1917. The image is rendered in pen and ink, giving it a timeless quality that transports us back to this pivotal moment in time. Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik Party from 1917-1924, played a crucial role in the October Revolution of 1917. This identity card symbolizes his determination to evade authorities as he pursued his revolutionary agenda. The photograph captures Lenin's shrewdness and resourcefulness. By assuming a false name and donning this disguise, he was able to navigate through dangerous political landscapes undetected. It serves as a testament to his commitment to advancing communist ideals despite facing constant threats from opposing forces. The authenticity of this historical artifact is emphasized by its inclusion in a private collection and its association with Peter Newark Historical Pictures. Its presence adds weight to our understanding of Lenin's personal journey within the broader context of Russian politics during this tumultuous period. This portrait-like representation allows us to glimpse into Lenin's world at that time - his face stern yet determined, embodying both strength and conviction. The document itself bears witness to his signature, marking it as an official identification paper tied directly to him. As we explore this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are reminded not only of Lenin's indelible impact on history but also how one man can use cunning tactics such as counterfeit identities for noble causes like revolutionizing society or challenging oppressive regimes.
