Moscow Uprising - Damage to buildings
Between 5th and 7th December, there was a general strike by Russian workers. The government sent in troops on 7th December, and a bitter street-by-street fight began in Moscow. A week later the Semenovskii Regiment was deployed, using artillery to break-up demonstrations and to shell workers districts. On 18th December, with around a thousand people dead and parts of the city in ruins, the workers surrendered. After a final spasm in Moscow, the uprisings ended in December 1905. This postcard shows damage to the Presnia District during the uprising. Date: 1905

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting postcard image captures the devastation wrought upon the Presnia District in Moscow during the Russian Revolution of 1905. Between 5th and 7th December, Russian workers staged a general strike in protest against the living and working conditions, and the government's response was brutal. On 7th December, troops were sent in to quell the unrest, leading to bitter street-by-street fighting. As the situation deteriorated, the Semenovskii Regiment was deployed on 18th December, using artillery to break up demonstrations and to shell workers districts. The ensuing violence left around a thousand people dead and large parts of the city in ruins. In this photograph, the destruction is evident as buildings lie in shambles, their facades blown apart by artillery shells. The once vibrant and bustling streets now stand silent and desolate, a poignant reminder of the tragic events that unfolded during this pivotal moment in Russian history. The uprisings eventually ended on 18th December 1905, leaving a deep scar on the city and its people.
