The February Revolution began in Russia following a dispute over wages at the Putilov factories in St. Petersburg. On February 23rd, workers, demanding an increase in their pay, produced a locomotive. This sparked demonstrations that quickly spread throughout the city and subsequently across the nation. Protests occurred in various locations, including Irkutsk, Siberia, as depicted in this photograph. The February revolution marked a significant turning point in Russian history.
