EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Russian pre-dreadnought battleship Slava, a proud symbol of the Russian Navy during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Launched in 1903, the Slava was part of the Borodino-class, named after the historic Battle of Borodino during the Napoleonic Wars. The battleship served valiantly in the Baltic Sea, defending Russia's maritime interests against enemy forces. As the world was plunged into the Great War, the Slava flew the Russian Navy Jack flag, a symbol of the nation's pride and determination. The image, taken circa 1914-1917, shows the battleship in full regalia, with its intricate deck guns and impressive masts towering over the water. The crew, dressed in their uniforms, stand at their posts, ready for action. Tragically, the Slava's story did not end on a victorious note. In October 1917, during the final days of the war, the battleship was sunk in the Baltic Sea. The cause of the sinking remains a mystery, with some sources attributing it to a German torpedo attack, while others suggest it was scuttled by its own crew to prevent capture. Despite its tragic end, the Slava's legacy as a formidable warship of the Russian Navy lives on. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men who served on board and the role the Russian Navy played in the history of the First World War.
