This glass negative records a review of the Red Army in Moscow, though the record gives no date and notes that the title comes from unverified caption data supplied by the Bain News Service. The Red Army was founded in 1918 after the Bolshevik Revolution, and public troop reviews in the Soviet capital were staged displays of military order and national strength. Bain's news photographs were made for newspapers and magazines that needed quick, widely reproducible images of events abroad. Because the negative is on glass, the image holds fine detail in its large format, which makes it useful for studying uniforms, equipment, and crowd arrangement in the period.
