EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the intensity and chaos of the early days of the Russian Revolution in 1917. The image, titled "Les Soubresauts de la Russie; Le debut des gardes rouges: une manifestation de la milice nationale des ouvriers" (Upheavals in Russia: the beginning of the Red Guard: a demonstration of the workers' national militia), is taken from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration. The scene depicts a group of armed workers, identified as the Red Guard or the workers' national militia, gathered around an arsenal that they have invaded and looted. The men, some wearing makeshift uniforms and holding rifles, stand defiantly, refusing to return the arms they have seized. Their determination is evident in their posture and the banners they carry, which bear revolutionary slogans and symbols. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the pivotal role that civilians played in the Russian Revolution, as they took up arms and formed militias to challenge the established order. The image also underscores the broader upheaval and instability that characterized this period in Russian history, as the old regime crumbled and a new order began to emerge. The photograph's historical significance is further underscored by its inclusion in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919," a prominent French publication that documented the major events of World War I and its aftermath. The photograph's provenance and its inclusion in this prestigious publication attest to its importance as a historical document and a testament to the tumultuous events of the early 20th century.
