EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Russian history - the front page of Pravda on February 19-22,1937, announcing the death of Sergo Ordzhonikidze. This rare print, part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the past and allows us to reflect upon the turbulent times that shaped Russia. Pravda, meaning "truth" in Russian, was one of the most influential newspapers during Soviet times. It served as a mouthpiece for the Communist Party and played a crucial role in disseminating propaganda to the masses. The fact that this particular edition focuses on Ordzhonikidze's death suggests his significance within political circles. Sergo Ordzhonikidze was an esteemed Bolshevik leader who held various high-ranking positions within Stalin's government. He played an instrumental role in industrializing Soviet Russia and was known for his unwavering loyalty to Joseph Stalin. However, his sudden demise at such a critical juncture raises questions about potential power struggles within the party. The anonymity surrounding this photography adds an air of mystery to its origins. Nevertheless, it serves as a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on an era marked by political intrigue and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this image from our present vantage point, let us remember those who lived through these tumultuous times and honor their resilience amidst adversity.
