EDITORS COMMENTS
Au Palais de Tauride; Le bureau du Conseil des délégués ouvriers et soldats, pendant une séance plénière (At the Tauride Palace; The office of the Worker and Soldier Delegates' Council, during a plenary meeting, 1917) is an evocative photograph that captures a pivotal moment in Russian history. The image, taken from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, depicts a packed room in the Tauride Palace in Saint Petersburg (now known as St. Petersburg, Russia, or Sankt Peterburg in Russian), where worker and soldier delegates are gathered for a plenary session. The photograph offers a glimpse into the political upheaval of the Russian Revolution, which began in 1917. The scene is presided over by Nikolay Chkheidze, a prominent Georgian politician and deputy in the Russian Duma. Chkheidze, who is seated at the head of the table, is surrounded by a sea of attentive faces, both male and female, representing the proletariat and the military. The executive committee of the Council, which was responsible for leading the meetings, is shown in action. The photograph is a testament to the democratic nature of the Revolution, with worker delegates elected on a ratio of one delegate per thousand workers or per factory with fewer than one thousand workers, and soldier delegates elected on a ratio of one delegate per company. The photograph's caption notes that the image was taken during a plenary session where soldier delegates were elected. The Tauride Palace, also known as the Tavrichesky Palace, has a rich history, having served as the seat of the Russian Provisional Government and the Constituent Assembly during the Revolution. The photograph offers a unique insight into the political events that unfolded within its walls during this tumultuous period in Russian history.
