Katherina Breshkov-Breshuskay - The Grandmother of the Russian Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Katherina Breshkov-Breshuskay, a prominent figure in early 20th-century Russia. Known as the "Grandmother of the Russian Revolution" she dedicated her life to fighting for social justice and political change. Born in 1844, Breshkovsky initially aligned herself with anarchist Mikhail Bakunin before joining the Narodnik revolutionary movement. Her unwavering commitment led to imprisonment in 1874 and subsequent exile to Siberia from 1878-1896. However, these hardships only fueled her determination. After her release, she co-founded the Socialist-Revolutionary Party and played a pivotal role during the turbulent times leading up to the February Revolution of 1917. Remarkably resilient, Breshkovsky endured another period of exile in Siberia until this revolution finally brought about her freedom. In recognition of her invaluable contributions, she was granted a seat in Alexander Kerensky's Provisional Government. Sadly, following Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1916, Breshkovsky was forced into exile once again. She spent her remaining years abroad until passing away in Czechoslovakia in 1934. This historic photograph showcases an extraordinary woman who fearlessly challenged societal norms and fought for equality amidst political turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, individuals like Katherina Breshkov-Breshuskay can inspire generations with their unwavering dedication to creating a better world.
