The Storming of the Winter Palace was a 1920 mass re-enactment, based on events in Petrograd (St Petersburg), during the 1917 October Revolution. Taking place on the third anniversary of the revolution, it was directed by Nikolai Evreinov and was subtitled a "mass action." The sets were designed by Yuri Annenkov. The spectacle was staged outside the former Tsarist Winter Palace where the Provisional Government was meeting at the time of the Bolshevik revolution.
