EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the leisurely moment of Leonid Krassin's daughters, Ludmila and Luba, along with their sister Katia, at the Venice Lido in 1924. The Krassin sisters, dressed in the height of 1920s fashion, are seen enjoying a day at the beach. Ludmila dons a stylish bathing wrap, while Luba shields herself from the sun with a chic hat. In the background, the iconic Excelsior Hotel on the Venice Lido adds an air of sophistication and glamour to the scene. Leonid Krassin, a prominent Bolshevik leader, was known for his significant contributions to the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union. However, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of his daughters, who were often kept out of the public eye. The Krassin sisters' carefree day at the beach in Venice represents a brief respite from the political turmoil and upheaval that defined their father's era. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of cultural and social transformation. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of the era, with its fashionable attire, sun-soaked setting, and the sense of freedom and enjoyment that characterized the time. The Krassin sisters' relaxed and joyful expressions convey the carefree nature of their holiday, making this image a poignant reminder of a bygone era.
