A flyer announcing the fall of the Provisional Government to the Bolsheviks. In Six Red Months, Bryant writes of climbing aboard a truck full of soldiers and sailors who were distributing these flyers. “People scrambled over the cobbles fighting for copies. We could only make out the headlines in the half-light: ‘Citizens! The Provisional Government is deposed. State Power has passed into the organ of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies.’”
