Circum-Baikal trade route. Boyarskaya station, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Circum-Baikal trade route. Boyarskaya station, end of 19th century.
From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The collection illustrates aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin at the end of the 19th century, depicts Boyarskaya station along the Circum-Baikal trade route. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Transbaikal Russia during a time when the tea trade with China was a significant economic force. Charushin, a revolutionary-populist and social and political activist, captured this moment as he served his hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory. The photograph showcases the bustling activity at Boyarskaya station, a vital stop on the trade route. Horses and carts laden with goods are seen lined up at the station, ready to continue their journey across the vast expanse of Siberia. The station building, with its distinctive red roof and white walls, stands proudly in the background. Charushin's collection, comprised of 71 items including photographs and negatives on glass, provides a unique insight into the history of Transbaikal Russia during this period. The photographs illustrate various aspects of the tea trade, from the growing and preparing of tea to the sections of the trade routes and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal. Several of the photographs, including one of the Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at that time, now known as Ulaanbaatar. This photograph, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Circum-Baikal trade route was a vital artery connecting Russia to the East. Charushin's keen eye for detail and his commitment to documenting the world around him make this image an invaluable historical record.
