Canonical Revolution: The End of Saint-Petersbourg (1927) by Vsevolod Pudovkin
The October Revolution became a mythologized subject in the Soviet film canon; Eisenstein’s October and Pudovkin’s The End of St. Petersburg are the most renowned ‘canonical’ cinematic
versions of this event. Both films were commissioned to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution.
The End of St. Petersburg (Konets Sankt-Peterburga) covers the period from about 1913 to 1917 and accounts for why and how the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917. The film does not show the political figures of the time; the emphasis is on the struggle of ordinary people for their rights and for peace against the power of capital and the autocracy.
In this sequence, made is in the best traditions of the Soviet montage, the cruiser Aurora fires a blank shot from its forecastle gun signaling the start of the assault on the Winter Palace.
