This painting shows a large group of people waiting for something in a spacious room. The faces of the characters in the story are animated and excited, they are clearly worried about something. What drama united so many people? On the wall near the clock you can see the inscription: “Deposit Department,” which means that the people standing in front of the locked door are depositors who have deposited a large amount of money in the bank. The name "Bank Collapse" suggests that this financial institution went bankrupt, leaving its customers with nothing. Everyone present is clearly not happy with what is happening and is trying to somehow clarify the situation. The picture is based on real events that occurred in Moscow on the night of October 12, 1875. A crowd of furious depositors literally burst into the Moscow Commercial Loan Bank to try to save their savings. However, it was already too late - no one returned the money to the people that day. The bank was founded by the mayor of the capital, Daniil Schumacher. At first, the organization actively developed and even collaborated with Europe. The main borrower of Schumacher's bank was the German "railroad king" Heinrich Strusberg, who took out loans for 8 million. However, the German quickly went bankrupt due to the raging European economic crisis, leaving the Moscow Commercial Loan Bank with a large financial gap.
