April 1920 --- Prominent Bolshevik revolutionaries are pictured centered around their leader, Vladimir I. Lenin, in a montage commemorating the Great October Revolution of 1917. The hammer and sickle of the new Soviet state are depicted at top. Top four left to right: Rykov, Radek, Pokrevsky, Kamenev. Middle Left to right: Trotsky, Lenin, Sverdlov. Bottom left to right: Bukharin, Zinoviev, Krylenko, Kollontai, Lunacharsky. Conspicuous by his absence in the early collection is Stalin, who executed a number of these people, including Rykov, Radek, Kamenev, Zinoviev, and Trotsky. --- Image by © Hulton-Deutsch Collection/CORBIS
