EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic print captures a significant moment in history, as two of the most influential figures of the Russian communist revolution engage in conversation with Red Guards. Vladimir Ilich Lenin and Joseph Stalin are seen addressing the volunteer soldiers at Smolny Palace in Saint Petersburg, 1917. The image is a testament to their leadership and the pivotal role they played during this tumultuous period. Lenin, known for his political theories and revolutionary ideas, led the Bolshevik Party to overthrow the Provisional Government and establish Soviet power. Stalin, who would later become ruler of the Soviet Union after Lenin's death, was already rising through party ranks at this time. The photograph by Pyotr Vasilyev beautifully captures the intensity of their discussion within an imposing architectural backdrop. The monochrome tones add depth to their expressions as they debate important matters concerning Russia's future. This image serves as a reminder of how these men shaped history through their ideologies and actions. It symbolizes not only their determination but also represents a turning point in Russian politics that would have far-reaching consequences for years to come. As we reflect on this powerful image from 1939, it is impossible not to acknowledge its historical significance. It stands as a testament to Lenin's vision and Stalin's rise to power while evoking curiosity about what transpired during that fateful meeting between these two influential leaders.
