"Red Guards: A Revolutionary Force in Russian History" The year was 1917, and Moscow witnessed a mass demonstration that would forever change the course of history. Painted with vivid strokes on canvas, the "Mass Demonstration in Moscow in 1917" captures the fervor and determination of the Red Guards as they rallied for their cause. In another artwork titled "The Red Guard entering the Kremlin, Moscow, " we are transported to November 2nd, 1917. The color lithograph showcases these brave individuals storming into one of Russia's most iconic landmarks, ready to shape a new era. Meanwhile, across vast lands and oceans, an American army landed at Vladivostok. Their arrival marked a turning point in the Russian Civil War – a conflict where red clashed against white. These contrasting forces were depicted centuries earlier in "The Honesty of Saint Eliigius, " an oil painting from 1662 that reminds us of timeless struggles between opposing ideologies. As battles raged on, soldiers tirelessly pursued their enemies' tracks. Boris Vasilievich Zvorykin's chromolithography piece titled "On the enemy's tracks" echoes this relentless pursuit during times of war. It asks poignant questions like "Pourquoi dors tu?" or "Why do you sleep?" urging individuals to awaken and take action. Propaganda posters played a crucial role during these tumultuous times too. One such poster from 1920 boldly proclaimed: "'You - Are You a Volunteer Yet?'" Its striking imagery aimed to inspire citizens to join forces with the Red Guards and fight for their ideals. Amidst all this chaos emerged notable figures like Nikolay Burdenko – a renowned Soviet surgeon who dedicated his skills to saving lives amidst turmoil. His black-and-white photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst war's horrors, there were those who selflessly worked towards healing wounds inflicted by conflict. Finally came the moment of victory.
