Photo of revolutionary soldiers, 1917

Cabinet-portrait. That picture was taken after the February revolution, shows the badge on his cap right soldier, covered with red cloth. In appearance all three of them are typical of the soldiers of reserve regiments that trained in the rear of the main replenishment for the front. In 1917 these parts, a typical feature of which was a large number of soldiers of varying composition with a small number of officers have become the breeding ground for revolutionary ferment. The soldiers, who did not want to fight, quickly moved from the slogan "voeny to the bitter end" to the slogan "a bayonet in the ground", and played an important role in the events of October, 1917, throughout Russia. Outfit all three of you – new, recently made, boots bought at their own expense. Worn over a Hiking shirt tape from the Maxim gun – an obvious imitation of "revolutionary sailors", a book in his hands – a symbol of political literacy. The guarantee of authenticity.
