In 1920, the third anniversary of the October Revolution,
The Storming of the Winter Palace
was performed with a cast of 10,000. But as a reenactment this mass spectacle, directed by Nikolai Evreinov, was deceptive. It was intended to recall somethingthe storming of the Winter Palace as the beginning of the revolutionthat it itself produced as a theatrical medium. This volume reconstructs the event with texts, photographs, and drawings, and shows how not only in the Soviet Union did the photograph of the theatrical storming become a historical document of the October Revolution.
