"It is one of the great ironies of history that in 1917 one of the most isolated, illiterate societies in Europe, one that was deeply conservative and religious, agrarian and feudalist, became the first to embrace the revolutionary, atheistic, and industrial ideology of Communism." - From the Curator's IntroductionThis collection of fiction, memoir, poetry and photos is all focused on the lynchpin year that was 1917, with the intent of taking the reader as close as possible to what it felt like to be living at that time, be it on the frontlines, or in Petrograd.
