Preobajensky Regiment: Soldiers of the Famous Armed Forces Who Sided with the Revolutionaries of 1917 This historic photograph captures members of the Preobajensky Regiment, a renowned military unit in Russia's imperial history, as they march in support of the revolutionary forces during the momentous events of 1917. The Preobajensky Guard, also variously spelled as Preobrazhensky or Preobrazhenskiy, was one of the oldest and most prestigious regiments in the Imperial Russian Army. Established in 1668, the Preobajensky Regiment was known for its distinctive blue uniforms and high discipline. However, their allegiance to the monarchy was put to the test during the tumultuous year of 1917. As the revolutionary fervor spread across Russia, the soldiers of the Preobajensky Regiment found themselves at a crossroads. Despite their traditional loyalty to the Tsar, many members of the regiment sympathized with the revolutionary cause. In February 1917, following the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, the Preobajensky Regiment became one of the first armed forces to side with the new provisional government. Their decision to join the revolutionaries marked a significant turning point in the Russian Revolution. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the complexities of the historical events that unfolded in Russia during 1917. The soldiers of the Preobajensky Regiment, dressed in their distinctive blue uniforms, march with determination and resolve, symbolizing the shifting alliances and the uncertain future that lay ahead. This image, taken from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in Russian history.
