Caption: "My Russian friends, 1917 - A Glimpse into the Turbulent Times of the Russian Revolution". This print from 1917 showcases a group of anonymous individuals who played significant roles during the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war. Preserved in the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this image offers a window into one of history's most transformative periods. The photograph captures members of both the Red Army and Red Guard, symbolizing their allegiance to revolutionary ideals and their active participation in overthrowing Tsar Nicholas II's autocratic rule. These brave men and women fought for social justice, equality, and an end to oppression. As Russia plunged into chaos following the October Revolution, opposing forces emerged. The White Army or White Guard represented counter-revolutionary factions seeking to restore order under different leadership. This print serves as a reminder that amidst political turmoil, there were those who resisted change. Chromolithography techniques bring vibrant colors to this poster-like image—perhaps serving as propaganda or rallying support for either side during these tumultuous times. Notably present are symbols associated with various groups involved in this conflict such as the Czechoslovak Legion (Czech Legion), indicating international involvement within Russia's internal strife. Through this historical artifact, we gain insight into how art was utilized as a powerful tool for social and political expression during moments of upheaval. It stands testament to both human resilience and our capacity for transformation when faced with adversity—a visual representation
