Amazing -- I think this gives me a better feel for what the Revolution was like than anything else I've seen.
Minor fixes: "spions" should be "spies," and "Prince Shakhovsky" should be "Prince Shakhovskoi."
Thank you, Language (+for the corrections). I have felt the same when I saw these pictures for the first time. I remember that back in the 70s, as a child, I somehow found a German-language book on the deeds of the Cheka, published in the 1920s somewhere in Germany. It has caused me a couple of sleepless nights, and has determined my view on the Revolution we celebrated every year. Nevertheless, you could always say it was to some extent influenced by propaganda. These pictures, seen from inside, however, suggest you that that impression was basically realistic.
