The image showcases the Ossoaviakhim Riding Club of the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic as they diligently prepare youths and men for universal military service. Amidst a backdrop of uncertainty and turmoil, these brave trainees can be seen firing their weapons from behind majestic horses. This unique equestrian approach not only demonstrates their exceptional horsemanship skills but also highlights the strategic advantage that cavalry units possessed during this era.
