October 25th, 1917. Bolshevik forces laid siege to Winter Palace, finally gaining entrance to the grounds in the early morning by posing as the milkman. Members of the provisional government were placed under arrest, with one detainee claiming his right to a telegram. The Russian people rallied behind Lenin and Trotsky's party, and then, as a show of appreciation, rallied in front of them.
