Les Soubresauts de la Russie
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Uproars of Russia) is a captivating photograph depicting a historic moment during the tumultuous year of 1917. The image captures a women's battalion, led by the fearless and trailblazing figure of Maria Leontievna Bochkareva, as they stand to attention before General Polovtzef in Petrograd Square. Maria Bochkareva, the first Russian woman to command a military unit, had formed the 1st Russian Women's Battalion of Death, also known as the "Bochkareva's Battalion," in response to the call for volunteers to defend her country during the First World War. The battalion, made up of over 1,000 women, had already proven their mettle on the battlefield, and this photograph captures a moment of recognition and validation from the military establishment. The photograph, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a French publication, offers a unique glimpse into the extraordinary role women played in the Russian military during a time of great upheaval and change. The image is filled with a sense of defiance and determination, as the women soldiers stand proudly, dressed in their military uniforms, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the women who defied gender norms and expectations to serve their country during a time of war. It also serves as a powerful reminder of the pivotal role women played in the Russian Revolution and the broader history of the 20th century. Despite the unknown creator of this photograph, the image remains a powerful and enduring symbol of the indomitable spirit of the women who fought for their country and challenged traditional gender roles during the Russian Revolution and the First World War.
