Stalin

Sergeant M.G. Kurmaev 

During the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, a number of pictures were taken of successful fighters celebrating their victories. The background of the original image includes a store that says in Russian, “Watches, gold and silver”.  In the second photo, the image was then changed to read, “Struggle for your rights”, and flag that was a solid color before,  was changed to read, “Down with the monarchy – long live the Republic!”.
