Inside The Observer Magazine 29 January 1967 - 1917 - A nation for the taking - A painting by S. Lukin, stirringly entitled "The Ineviable" epitomises the feelings with which the Russian people found themselves seemingly masters of their own fate. The Bolshevik soldier gazes overcome at the magnificance of the Tsar's throne surmounted by the imperial emblem. The occasion is the assault on the Winter Palace which ousted the last survivors of pre-revolution authority. It is this date - the beginning of the Leninist regime - and not the overthrow of the Tsar which is now commemorated by the Russians as the true anniversary of the Revolution. 固opFoto
