EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment of profound devotion and connection between Russia's last Tsar, Emperor Nicholas II (1868-1918), and his troops during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Circa 1915, as the Russian army faced significant losses and setbacks on the Eastern Front, Nicholas II sought to inspire his soldiers with a display of faith and humility. Mounted on horseback, the Tsar holds aloft a sacred icon, an act of piety that resonated deeply with his troops. In response, the soldiers drop to their knees in penitence and reverence, momentarily suspending the chaos and brutality of the war. The image is a poignant reminder of the human dimension of war, as well as the role of spirituality in motivating and sustaining soldiers during times of conflict. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex and often overlooked history of the Russian army during the First World War, and the deep emotional bonds that connected soldiers and their leaders in the face of adversity.
