We all loved the film about assault of the Winter Palace. We liked how “Aurora” fired at the palace breaking the way for revolutionaries climbing up the gateways. Nevertheless, in reality there was no need to assault the Winter Palace. Actually, all real events of the 17th October were much more prosaic. The new government needed to create their myth about the Great Revolution that could inspire the masses. All cultural resources were aimed at creation of this myth and above all cinematography which was called “the most important art”…
