Tsar Nicholas II abdicates the throne and a provisional government replaces him. The poet Alexander Blok, who had hinted at his generation’s mounting frustration in 1912 when he wrote “All remain just like this, there is no exit” [vse budet tak, iskhoda net], writes his famous poems The Twelve in 1918, setting it in a Petersburg suburb where Red army soldier shouts to a flag-waving Jesus, “Get out of the way, we’re going to shoot” [vykhodi, streliat nachnem]. Also in 1918 the artist Natan Altman drapes a banner across Petersburg’s Palace Square: “ He who was naught shall be all.”
