The Russian Revolution, a tumultuous period in history that forever changed the course of Russia and the world. In 1918, a powerful poster emerged depicting Trotsky slaying the counter-revolutionary dragon, symbolizing the fierce determination of the Bolsheviks to eradicate opposition. Another striking poster from 1920 by artist Lissitzky showcased their resolve with the slogan "Beat the Whites with the red wedge, " emphasizing their commitment to overthrowing anti-communist forces. Vladimir Ilich Lenin, a prominent figure in this revolution, can be seen in an iconic photograph taken in Moscow's Kremlin in October 1918. His piercing gaze reflects his unwavering dedication to leading Russia towards communism. Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin's presence during this time cannot be overlooked either; his influence on Tsar Nicholas II's family added fuel to an already volatile situation. Lenin's ability to rally people is captured beautifully in Irakliy Toidze's oil painting titled "Lenin Rallying the People. " The intensity and passion emanating from Lenin demonstrate his role as a charismatic leader who inspired countless individuals. One significant event was when Red Guards entered Moscow's Kremlin on November 2nd, 1917. This momentous occasion marked their triumph over old regime forces and solidified their control over Russia. A visual representation of socialism's roots can be found in an anonymous masterwork showcasing "The family tree of modern socialism" dating back to 1906. It highlights how ideas evolved over time and laid foundations for revolutionary movements like these. Father Gapon leading unarmed factory workers against oppression during the Revolution of 1905 exemplifies ordinary citizens' fight for justice amidst harsh conditions imposed by capitalism. An anonymous poster designer further emphasized workers' struggles with clenched fists threatening them but also urging them to rise up against exploitation. In another pivotal scene captured through photography, soldiers gathered at Petrograd Soviet's meeting in the State Duma during 1917.
