EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaos and destruction of the Caucasus insurrection in Baku, Russia during the early 20th century. The image showcases a massive fire engulfing the naphtha oil wells, set ablaze by revolts against Russian rule. The intensity of the flames is palpable as they lick at the sky, creating an eerie glow that illuminates the surrounding landscape. The billowing smoke adds to the sense of turmoil and unrest, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical upheaval. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated. It represents a pivotal moment in Russian history when tensions between revolutionaries and imperial forces reached a boiling point. The revolt was fueled by deep-seated grievances and aspirations for independence in this volatile region. Photographer Leonard de Selva masterfully captures this dramatic scene, allowing us to witness firsthand the destructive power unleashed during times of social upheaval. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when resistance movements fought for their rights amidst political oppression. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how history can shape our present reality and encourages us to reflect on past struggles for freedom and justice. It stands as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity while also reminding us of our collective responsibility to learn from these experiences
