EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Soldiers of the Volinsky unit alongside non-commissioned officer T. L. Kirpichnikov and representatives of workers associations from England. Taken in St Petersburg during February 1917, this image provides a glimpse into the revolutionary atmosphere that engulfed Russia at the time. The Volinsky reserve unit, established by Nicholas II himself in 1880, played a pivotal role in the events that unfolded on February 27th, 1917. Located near the Tavrichesky Palace, it was this very unit that led the uprising within the Petersburg garrison. In this photo print, we witness a group of brave soldiers standing side by side with their comrades from Britain's workers associations. The presence of these representatives highlights not only international solidarity but also hints at potential communist influences within both nations. The soldiers' resolute expressions convey determination and unity as they stand together against oppression. Captured by an anonymous Russian photographer from the 20th century, this historic image now resides in a private collection. Preserved for generations to come, it serves as a reminder of how ordinary individuals can unite to bring about extraordinary change. Through its composition and subject matter, this photograph encapsulates an era defined by revolutionaries fighting for justice and equality amidst political turmoil. It stands as a testament to human resilience and collective action – values that continue to resonate today.
