Summary[edit]

Description

Boris Souvarine Papers - Soviet Russia Photos graduateinstitute.ch/home/research/library/archives/boris...

Notes: The back of this picture holds the mention (in Russian) "IInd Congress of the IIIrd International. The tribune on Uritsky Square". One recognizes the Winter Palace colonnade in the background.

The people photographed may be delegates to the Congress of the IIIrd International. The lady in a white dress seems to be the same as in the photo entitled "Group of the delegates of the IIIrd International, Petrograd".

French syndicalist Alfred Rosmer (1877-1964) was one of the French delegates to the Communist International. He wrote about this event: "L’après-midi [17 juillet 1920] un meeting eut lieu sur la vaste place du Palais d’Hiver, si riche en souvenirs. (....) Une tribune était dressée devant le Palais d’où l’on dominait la foule venue pour écouter les orateurs. (...) La scène, c’était le péristyle qu’on atteignait par un haut escalier. La foule immense accourue pour voir le spectacle tenait à l’aise sur la vaste place. Dans ce cadre exceptionnel se déroulèrent une suite de scènes évoquant “ la marche du socialisme à travers les luttes et les défaites vers la victoire”.

Unknown photographer.
