Nerchinsk Transbaikal Territory, Russia: A Historical Snapshot (1862-1891) Step into the past and explore the Nerchinsk Transbaikal Territory of Russia, as depicted in these captivating images from the late 19th century. First, a portrait of Nerchinsk Tungus people in 1862, captured by Karlis Huns. Fast forward to the early 1890s, and we find Aleksei Kuznetsov documenting the region's transformation. A map from the Office of His Majesty in 1914 reveals the extent of the Nerchinsk Region. However, these photographs offer a more personal look at life there during this period. Convicts were a common sight in the Nerchinsk Region, as shown in images of hard labor at the Savinsk Mine and the Kutomara Plant. Vagrants, too, roamed the land, as seen in haunting images of a vagrant on the loose. Religious practices were an essential part of daily life, as evidenced by internees praying outside the Gornyi Zerentui Prison. The region was also known for its industry, with flour mills and silver smelting plants in operation. Despite the harsh conditions, these images offer a glimpse into the resilient spirit of the people who lived and worked in the Nerchinsk Transbaikal Territory of Russia during this era.
