Some interesting photographs here taken before the 1917 revolution. While the nobility lived in luxury, workers and peasants struggled to survive:

Potemkin had escorted Catherine 2,queen of Russia,on tour around Russia showing Her "fake villages". Those well painted villages on planks(theater scene),imaginative in fact were "villages of Potemkin".

So it's got nothing to do with the Potemkin mutiny: the ordinary people, sick of mistreatment by the rich, work together to spread rebellion? |

I like the photograph of Russia's first car in 1897. It would be very stylish in the United States' Tournament of Roses Parade.
