Black-and-white photo of a [preparatory sketch?] painting by ivan vladimirov (ru:владимиров, иван алексеевич, 1870-1947) depicting the december, 1905 rising in presnya district of moscow. Collection of moscow museum of modern history (former revolution museum). Attribution: [1] (the year 1955 refers to the date on the negative, not the painting.

description by the imperial war museum: barricades erected by police in moscow during the russian revolution of 1905. The barricades were erected during fierce street fighting with revolutionaries who refused to accept the tsar's october manifesto of october 1905. The manifesto permitted the establishment of a constitution, and a legislative duma, with a prime minister. The soviet rejected this concession and fierce street-fighting took place in moscow from 22 december 1905 to 1 january 1906. Date: Presumed to be painted before 1918 (hence PD-RusEmpire).
