EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1872, capturing a moment in history that resonates with courage and resistance. The image showcases a Circassian rider, mounted on his horse, emanating an aura of strength and determination. This powerful portrait is part of the esteemed Collection of State Museum of A. S. Pushkin in Moscow. The photograph transports us to the tumultuous era known as the Caucasian Wars, which took place from 1817 to 1864. It was during this time that various Muslim tribes including Adyghe, Adygs, Chechnya, Circassia, Dagestan fought against Russian forces in their struggle for independence and preservation of their culture. With its oil on canvas technique reminiscent of fine art images from that period, this print encapsulates both historical significance and artistic beauty. The rider's stoic expression speaks volumes about the resilience exhibited by those who resisted foreign occupation. As we delve into Russia's complex past through this remarkable piece, it serves as a reminder not only of the struggles faced by these Muslim tribes but also sheds light on themes such as guerrilla warfare and holy wars prevalent during that time. Preserved within the walls of State Museum of A. S. Pushkin in Moscow today, this photograph stands as a testament to our shared human history – one filled with triumphs and tribulations alike.
