    Huh? Is this AI generated? So many wrong details, and I can’t even find instances of many of these pictures anywhere.

    Can’t be talking about the SDLP 1899 1st Central Committee, Lenin wasn’t on it, and Stalin was still training as a priest and entirely uninvolved. So I’m assuming it’s talking about the Central Committee during the 7th Congress of the RSDLP(b) (ie post revolution).

    I’m not great with faces, but on initial inspection, this seems wrong. Firstly, the committee was more than 12 members. Secondly, I don’t think everyone here was denounced and/or arrested, e.g.

    • Fyodor Sergeyev (bottom right?) was never denounced or arrested.
    • Mikhail Vladimirsky (middle second from right?) was a deputy Supreme Soviet at time of death. He had a state funeral with honours.

    Some of these weren’t even on the committee. e.g.

    • Aleksei Kiselyov, bottom row, second from right.
    • Alexander Shliapnikov bottom row, second from left. Also he was arrested, but never accused of being a Nazi spy.

    I can’t be arsed thoroughly checking it all, (some of them are correct) but god knows it’s wrong on way too much. There were a lot of members of the central committee at the time of the 7th RSDLP(b) who were arrested later in their life, but not as many as this depicts, and many of the people depicted were either not on the committee and/or not denounced. If it’s just talking about party members who attended that congress (ie delegates and other members), we’re talking about thousands of people.

      Bottom right is more likely to be Oppokov, same face but that specific angle of an original picture I was unable to find

      Middle second from right is Kamenev, hardly got executed by a firing squad with honors

      Shliapnikov’s inclusion does seem weird yeah, OG creator was probably looking for Tukhachevsky since that would be a more apt match
