Book excerpt: "In 1920, the third anniversary of the October Revolution, The Storming of the Winter Palace was performed with a cast of 10,000. The mass spectacle, directed by Nikolai Evreinov, was a kind of false, deceptive reenactment. It was intended to recall something--the storming of the Winter Palace as the beginning of the revolution--that it itself produced as a theatrical medium. This volume reconstructs the event with texts, photographs, and drawings, and shows how not only in the Soviet Union did the photograph of the theatrical "storming" became a historical document of the October Revolution."--Page 4 of cover.
