Nevertheless: large scale celecration of the third anniversary of the revolution. Open Air Theater at the Winter Palace: a hundred thousand spectators, the storming is the climax of the show .
In short: You have answered the question (how did the attack on the Winter Palace take place) based on something fictitious.
With textual as well as visual sources, before using the source, you should know the backgrounds of the source. To that end, you need the answers to four questions: - What do you know about the maker of the source? (For example, his ideological conviction.) - Based on which information was the source made? - For what purpose was the source made? - Do you have reason to suspect that the source is fictional or subjective?
What did you learn? - You have experienced that different sources can tell different stories about the same subject. - You know how you can find out how factual the story is that a source tells. - You know how and for which ends subjective (or even fictional) sources can be used.
