EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intensity and determination of Joseph Stalin during the Sixth Congress of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks) in August 1917. Held in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), Russia, the congress was a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the Bolshevik Revolution. With the country in turmoil following the February Revolution earlier that year, the Bolsheviks were debating their next steps. In this photograph, Stalin, dressed in a simple suit and holding a folded paper, stands before an attentive audience. His gaze is fixed on the delegates before him as he passionately urges the necessity to prepare for an armed uprising. The idea of a violent seizure of power was a controversial one, and Stalin's words would prove to be a turning point for the party. The Sixth Congress marked a significant shift in the Bolsheviks' strategy, moving them away from their previous focus on winning over the majority of the population through peaceful means and towards a more radical approach. Stalin's call to arms would ultimately lead to the successful Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, which established the Soviet Union and fundamentally changed the course of world history. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, capturing the passion and conviction of Stalin as he rallied the Bolsheviks to prepare for the armed uprising that would change the world.
