MBy examining the various means to consolidate the memory of the October Revolution, this paper attempts to suggest a new way of interpreting it. The revolution was not completed by the usurpation of power on the 25th of October considering the fact that there were many challenges to threaten the stability of the socialist system. During the first decade of Soviet power, constant attempts were made to ascertain the legitimacy of the revolution, which means that the Bolshevik government should continue its own revolutionary program with the recognition that the new regime was not on solid foundation.
One way to remind of the revolutionary ideal and myth in the lives of people was through statues and rituals. Especially the rituals conducted on the May Day and the first anniversary of the revolution seemed to be good starting places to remember heroes and sacrifices contributing to the revolution. However, the rituals had too many symbolic decorations that the majority of people with a little education could not easily understand. Furthermore, there was not a bilateral interaction between the rituals and people taking parts in them. In order to enliven the memory and myth contained in the past event, people had to 'experience' the revolution and remember the passionate feeling once they had for it. Mass spectacles were suggested to be the effective means to accomplish the task.
Among the mass spectacles performed in 1920, <Storming of the Winter Palace> was the most dramatic representation of the revolution. By playing the role of revolutionary soldiers or opposing forces such as white army and cadets of the winter palace, the people could directly sense the impending crisis of autocratic power and greatness of the revolution. Though <Storming of the Winter Palace> in that sense could transmit the past experience into the present and compose the fresh memory of the revolution, it did not produce constant results as expected by the government. The participants might have different memory of the revolution as the change of stage settings and roles assigned to themselves. By making a historical film celebrating the tenth anniversary of the revolution, the Soviet government was trying to convey the constant memory of the revolution to the next generation. Eisenstein's epic film <October> could thus gain a lot of support from the government as a summary of the previous years to make the memory of the revolution.
The first decade of Soviet power as such was attempting to employ various kinds of means to ascertain the legitimacy of the revolution and its apotheosis. With the launching of the Stalin's regime the chances of expressing individual memory inconsistent with the party line was greatly diminished. The October Revolution was transforming itself into the next stage.
