EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Russian Revolution of 1917, as Vladimir Lenin addresses a sea of workers at the Putilov Factory in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg). The Putilov Factory was a key industrial hub and a symbol of the working class in Russia at the time. Lenin's speech on October 25, 1917 (October 7, Old Style), marked the beginning of the Bolsheviks' seizure of power, which would ultimately lead to the establishment of the Soviet Union. The workers in the photograph, dressed in their factory uniforms, listen intently to Lenin's words, their faces expressing a range of emotions from hope and determination to skepticism and uncertainty. Lenin's call for solidarity and support for the coup resonated with the workers, many of whom were disillusioned with the Provisional Government and its inability to address their demands for better living and working conditions. The success of Lenin's speech at the Putilov Factory was a turning point in the Revolution, as it galvanized the working class to join the Bolsheviks in their fight for power. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the crucial role that the working class played in the Russian Revolution and the enduring impact of Lenin's leadership. This image is a testament to the historical significance of the events of October 1917 and the pivotal role that the Putilov Factory and its workers played in shaping the course of Russian history. It is a poignant reminder of the power of collective action and the enduring influence of charismatic leaders on the course of history.
