Let’s go back…

A group of seven men in formal 19th-century attire pose for a black-and-white photograph, with the camera slowly zooming in on the central figure, a bald man with a beard, before the image cuts to a color portrait of him against a red flag with a hammer and sickle. The scene then transitions to a black-and-white close-up of a man in a military uniform with a mustache, who raises his right hand in a fist, holding the gesture as the camera slightly zooms in.
