My propaganda work with the soldiers of the General Staff and the description of the building in which they served.

I did  a propaganda work among the workers and soldiers In St. Petersburg.  
It was impossible to assemble, and to carry out the revolutionary activities in the building of the General Staff in front of the Winter Palace and the soldiers one by one gathered and came to practice to  my rented apartment.

More information about my propaganda work is in post "

The description of General Staff Building is below.

The building was designed  in 1819-1829. It consists of two wings, which are separated by a tripartite triumphal arch. It  commemorating the Russian victory over  Napoleon in 1812. The arch links Palace Square through Bolshaya Morskaya St. to Nevsky Prospekt. The western wing now hosts the headquarters of the  Western Military District of the Russian Army. The eastern wing was transferred to the Hermitage Museum in 1993.
