EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the aftermath of the Bolshevik Coup in Russia, specifically the study of Tsar Alexander II, the ancestor of Nicholas II, in the sacked Winter Palace on the night of November 7-8, 1917. The room, untouched since Tsar Alexander II's assassination on March 2, 1881, bears witness to the chaos and destruction wrought by the revolution. Everyday objects, once familiar and mundane, now lie in disarray: a damaged chair, an overturned desk, a drawer left open, and the remnants of the Tsar's last unfinished cigarette. The room's once grand furniture, now ransacked, stands as a testament to the political upheaval that had gripped Russia and the world. The photograph, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, offers a glimpse into the historic events of the October Revolution. The image, taken in the aftermath of the coup, serves as a poignant reminder of the damage inflicted upon the imperial palace in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), Russia, during the rebellion. The room's desolation and the contrast between the past and the present underscore the profound impact of the Bolshevik Coup on Russian history and the world at large.
