Consequences of the Russian Revolution + 20 PHOTOS
During the First World War the Russian-Soviet artist Ivan Alekseevich Vladimirov (1869-1947) was living in Petrograd. During the 1917 Revolution, he created a series of paintings and coloured drawings about life in Petrograd during the Revolution and the Civil War. After the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II he joined the Petrograd militia and illustrated the events of the Russian Revolution.
His works reflect his personal eye witness account of the savagery and brutality of the Bolsheviks and the 1917 Revolution, the consequences of which resulted in the deaths, imprisonment and displacement of millions of innocent men, women, and children, atrocities against the Russian Orthodox Church, and the destruction of Imperial and Holy Russia.
