EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1913, captures a group of Circassian men intently drilling in the mountains of the Caucasus region. The Circassians, native people of Circassia, were displaced from their homeland in the late 19th century during the Russian conquest of the Caucasus. In this image, the men are seen focused on their task, with horses and guns at the ready. The rugged terrain and harsh conditions of the region are evident in the background, as the men work to eke out a living in their new surroundings. The Circassian people have a rich history, with a unique culture and traditions that have been shaped by their mountainous homeland. They were renowned for their skill as horsemen and warriors, and their resistance to foreign invaders was legendary. However, the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the late 1800s resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Circassians, who were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in other parts of the Russian Empire and beyond. Despite the hardships they faced, the Circassian people have continued to preserve their traditions and identity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The horses and guns in the image are not only tools for survival but also symbols of the Circassian people's proud warrior heritage.
