Convicts at Work, 1906-1911. Creator: Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman
Convicts at Work, 1906-1911. This photograph is from an album of 47 views of convicts and structures at the Akatuy Prison, one of the main centers where political prisoners were held in the Russian Empire during the late-tsarist period. The album belonged to Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman, a physician and member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, who was incarcerated at Akatuy from 1906 to 1911. The prison was located at the Akatuy silver mine in Nerchinsk okrug (district) in the Transbaikal Territory of Siberia. Thousands of political prisoners were exiled to Siberia from European Russia and from Poland, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia (all then part of the Russian Empire) following the repression of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Criminal labor convicts and political prisoners had long been sent to Nerchinsk to work in extracting lead-silver ores in the region's mines. Irkutsk State University

EDITORS COMMENTS
Convicts at Work" is a poignant photograph taken by Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman between 1906 and 1911 at the Akatuy Prison in Nerchinsk okrug, Transbaikal Territory, Russia. The image is part of a collection of 47 views of convicts and structures at the prison, which was one of the main centers for holding political prisoners during the late-tsarist period. Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman, a physician and member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, was himself incarcerated at Akatuy from 1906 to 1911. Thousands of political prisoners were exiled to Siberia from European Russia and from Poland, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia following the repression of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Criminal labor convicts and political prisoners had long been sent to Nerchinsk to work in extracting lead-silver ores in the region's mines. The photograph shows a group of men, likely convicts, working in a yard. They are busy loading barrels onto a cart, their faces expressing determination and focus. The building in the background, with its imposing exterior, is the Alexandrovo Zavodsky Transbaikal Russia Penitentiary. The image is a stark reminder of the harsh conditions and hard labor endured by those who were exiled and imprisoned during this period. Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman's album provides a valuable historical record of this time, offering insight into the lives of those who were sent to the far reaches of the Russian Empire as punishment for their political beliefs. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of Russian history, social history, or photography. It is a reminder of the meeting of frontiers, the intersection of crime and punishment, and the enduring legacy of the past.
