EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Bolshevik Coup in Russia: Before the Fall - One of the Last Photos Allowed by Kerensky," is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the historical events leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917. The image was taken in the living room of the Kremlin in Moscow, under French tapestries from the series "Don Quixote," and is believed to be one of the last photographs allowed by Alexander Kerensky, the then-leader of the Russian Provisional Government, to be taken before the Bolsheviks seized power. The photograph captures a group of men, likely high-ranking politicians, seated around a table, engrossed in conversation. The room is adorned with ornate furniture and decor, hinting at the opulence and grandeur of the Kremlin. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, offers a fascinating insight into the political climate of the time. Alexander Kerensky, also known as Kerenski or Kerenskyi, is seen seated at the head of the table, dressed in formal attire, with a serious expression on his face. The other men in the photograph are equally attentive, their expressions revealing a range of emotions from intense concentration to quiet contemplation. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the historic events that unfolded in Russia during the early 20th century, and serves as a testament to the tumultuous political landscape of the time. The Bolshevik Revolution, also known as the October Revolution, marked the end of the Russian Provisional Government and the beginning of the Soviet era. This photograph, taken just before the fall of Kerensky's government, offers a unique perspective on the people and events that shaped Russia's history.
