Siberian War: Blagoveshchensk
Voting period ends on 5 Sep 2010 at 01:29:10 (UTC)
 * Reason:A fine illustration of a largely forgotten aspect of the Russian Revolution: The attempt to stop it. I also like seeing Japanese work of this period - this is probably the period where their art is most affected by Western styles, and it just looks neat. I like the way the slightly off-kilter angles serve to give a dynamism to the image, and how it rather luxuriates in its bright colours.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Siberian Intervention, Entente intervention in the Russian Civil War, Blagoveshchensk, Gongota Agreement of 1920. An older, low-res version had been in all these articles for quite some time, which this new one replaces.
