"Anarchy in Russia", presented by our special artist John Wladimiroff,
The Graphic, 19 January 1918, p. 67-71.
The volume is open at a double-page spread of illustrations showing, "The red
revolution in Russia: scenes recalling the terror and the commune"; and "The
triumph of the Leninists: street fighting in Moscow and Petrograd." Here we see
the bombardment of the Kremlin and the attack on the winter palace.
A later article in The Graphic, "The Russian "peace" with Germany",
(16 February 1918, p. 198) gives details of the tactic of the Germans in
concluding a separate peace with the Ukraine. This was later formalised in the
Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (3 March 1918) thus giving Germany the opportunity of
diverting all its forces to the Western Front.
