EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on November 14, 1920, Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and his wife, Nadezhda Krupskaya, are seen sitting among the people of the Kashino village near Moscow. The occasion for this gathering was a celebration devoted to the opening of the Kashino electric power station. Lenin, dressed in a simple suit and hat, and Krupskaya, wearing a long, flowing dress, are seated on chairs at the center of the crowd. Surrounding them are the villagers, who have gathered to witness the momentous event. The faces of the people in the photograph express a range of emotions, from excitement and curiosity to pride and joy. The opening of the Kashino electric power station was a significant achievement for the Soviet Union, which was in the process of industrializing after the Bolshevik Revolution. The provision of electricity to rural areas was seen as a key step in modernizing the countryside and improving the lives of the people. Lenin's presence at the celebration underscored the importance of this project for the Soviet government. As the leader of the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet Union's first head of state, Lenin was a symbol of the revolutionary spirit that had driven the Soviet Union's transformation. His presence among the people of Kashino served to reinforce the connection between the government and the people, and to demonstrate the Soviet Union's commitment to improving the lives of its citizens. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Soviet Union's industrialization efforts and the role that Lenin and Krupskaya played in shaping the country's future. It is a testament to the enduring power of leadership and the importance of progress and innovation in shaping the course of history.
