EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph, titled 'Russia's Treatment of her Prisoners; Notes at Kharsakov, Saghalien, Eastern Siberia; 'An Ogre'- The Creator: Unknown', was published in 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' in 1890. The image captures a chilling scene of Russian soldiers in Siberia, entertaining themselves with music as they supervise prisoners. The photograph was taken at the Kharsakov penitentiary in Eastern Siberia during the late 19th century. The image shows a corporal in the Russian military, amused as he plays a concertina, a type of portable musical instrument, while his comrades look on. The prisoners, huddled together in the background, appear to be shackled and dressed in ragged clothing. Their expressions convey a sense of despair and hopelessness. The photograph provides a stark contrast between the soldiers' carefree attitude and the grim reality of the prisoners' lives. The use of the term 'ogre' in the title suggests that the soldiers are behaving like monstrous figures, taking pleasure in the suffering of others. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh conditions of the Russian penal system during the Victorian era. It raises questions about the treatment of prisoners and the role of the military in maintaining order in the penal colonies of Siberia. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of punishment and the importance of upholding human rights and dignity, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
