The Stripping of Churches in Russia - A Glimpse into Bolshevik Brutality
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Stripping of Churches in Russia" offers a haunting glimpse into the dark period of Russian history during the early 20th century. Captured by Italian artist Achille Beltrame, this colour lithograph documents the ruthless actions carried out by the Bolsheviks as they stripped churches across Russia. In an attempt to procure resources for their regime, Moscow's rulers resorted to confiscating religious artifacts and treasures from these sacred spaces. The loot was then sold or melted down for its precious metals, leaving behind empty shells that once held great spiritual significance. The photograph serves as a chilling reminder of the persecution faced by bishops and priests who resisted this so-called kidnapping. Many were sentenced to life imprisonment or even executed without mercy. This systematic destruction aimed not only at eradicating religious influence but also at consolidating power under communist rule. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday between September 3rd and 10th, 1922. It stands as a testament to the resilience of faith amidst political turmoil and highlights the importance of preserving historical documentation. Through this powerful image, we are confronted with both architectural beauty reduced to rubble and cherished icons torn from their rightful places. It is a stark portrayal of how religion became yet another casualty in the relentless pursuit of revolution. As we reflect on this piece, let us remember those who suffered during this tumultuous time while cherishing our own freedom to practice our beliefs without fear or persecution.
