EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense atmosphere of St Isaacs Square in Petrograd, Russia during the revolutionary year of 1917. Amidst the backdrop of the Great War and the collapsing Tsarist regime, the city was gripped by political turmoil as various factions vied for power. In this image, an armored car used by the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky and his supporters is seen parked outside the Astoria Hotel. The armored car, a vital means of transportation and defense against counter-revolutionary forces, is a testament to the tumultuous times. The crew, dressed in military uniforms and armed, are alert and prepared for action. The cobblestones of the square are filled with people, a mix of civilians and soldiers, all watching the scene unfold with a sense of anticipation and uncertainty. The buildings around St Isaacs Square, with their grand facades and ornate details, stand in stark contrast to the raw power of the armored vehicle. The contrast between the beauty of the city and the chaos of the revolution is a poignant reminder of the historic events that were unfolding. As the revolutionary period wore on, Petrograd would witness numerous challenges to the provisional government, including the failed coup attempt by General Kornilov. The armored car in this photograph is a symbol of the desperate struggle for control in the city during this pivotal moment in Russian history.
