“Lenin with comrades at a May Day rally in Red Square, May 1919” by The Graduate Institute, Geneva

Boris Souvarine Papers – Soviet Russia Photos
http://bitly.com/1mpnVJd…

Notes: This political demonstration takes place near the Kremlin and celebrates the IIIrd Communist International. One reads the name of the countries represented at the Communist International on the banners, as well as the slogan "Workers of the world, unite!". The title of this picture was written on the back of the document (in Russian).

Another photo of the same event can be found in Red Star over Russia (ref. below), with this description: "Lenin (seen standing on the left of the bottom step) with comrades at a May Day rally in Red Square, Moscow, 1919. Marx’s First International and the IIIrd International are graphically celebrated in the festivities. There is, however, no representation of the IInd International, whose leaders Lenin mercilessly lambasted on another gramophone record: "They betrayed the workers, prolonged the slaughter, became enemies of socialism, and went over to the side of the capitalists" (p.85).

Unknown photographer.

Description: 1 photograph mounted on card. Black and white ; 16.5 x 22.5 cm.
