EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph captures a pivotal moment in Russian history as Vladimir Ilich Lenin, the revolutionary leader and founding father of the Soviet Union, addresses the Red Army troops on the steps of the Moscow Kremlin in 1924. Accompanying Lenin on the steps is Leon Trotsky, another prominent Bolshevik leader and military commander. The image, taken anonymously, provides a glimpse into the political and military landscape of post-revolutionary Russia. Lenin's speech to the Red Army was delivered during a time of great uncertainty and instability, as the Soviet Union faced both internal and external threats. The Red Army, which played a crucial role in securing the Bolsheviks' victory in the Russian Civil War, was a key force in maintaining order and defending the new Soviet state. Lenin's words would have been a source of inspiration and motivation for the soldiers, who were called upon to protect the gains of the revolution and build a new society. Trotsky, who had played a central role in the October Revolution and the establishment of the Soviet government, was a controversial figure in the Soviet leadership. He was a strong advocate of revolutionary internationalism and Red Army militarism, but his policies and ambitions clashed with those of other Soviet leaders, particularly Joseph Stalin. This photograph, taken several years before Trotsky's eventual exile and assassination, shows him in a more conciliatory role, standing alongside Lenin and supporting the Soviet cause. The image is a powerful reminder of the complex and dynamic nature of Russian history, and the role that individuals like Lenin and Trotsky played in shaping the course of the Soviet Union and the world.
