EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in Russian history, showcasing the juxtaposition of old traditions with emerging modernity. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image portrays a remarkable scene as a Benzine Motor, recently adopted for use in the Russian Army, passes by the majestic statue of Peter the Great. The photograph symbolizes Russia's transition from traditional military might to embracing technological advancements. The powerful Benzine Motor represents progress and innovation, while Peter the Great's statue stands as a reminder of Russia's glorious past. This fusion between old and new reflects a pivotal era when Russia sought to strengthen its military capabilities through mechanization.
