Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of Russia's revolutionary era, the creeping bolshevism, symbolized by the thick snake ring in the 'For the United Russia' poster (1919), had finally reached the heart of the nation. The February Revolution of 1917, as depicted in the 'Revolutionary Demonstration' painting, marked the beginning of the end for the Tsarist regime. The Red Army and the Red Fleet, portrayed in the 'Red Army and the Red Fleet' artwork (1918-1923), played a pivotal role in securing the Bolsheviks' power. The 'Bolshevic Demonstration During the Russian Revolution' photograph (1917) captures the fervor of the masses, while the enigmatic figure of Leon Trotsky, a key Bolshevik leader, emerges from the shadows in the black-and-white portrait. The 'Staff of the October Revolution of 1917' painting immortalizes the triumphant leaders, and Lenin, the architect of the revolution, lies embalmed in his coffin in the 'Lenin' photograph. The 'Storming of the Winter Palace' image (1917) bears testament to the Bolsheviks' ultimate victory. And even amidst the chaos, there's a hint of sweetness, as seen in the anonymous 'Chocolate Factory Einem' artwork.
