Group of Workers at the Zimov'evsko-Meshchaninovskaia Railroad, 1906-1908. Creator: Dorozhno-Stroitel'nyi Otdel
Group of Workers at the Zimov'evsko-Meshchaninovskaia Railroad, 1906-1908. From a collection of 82 photos from the archive of Yul Brynner (1920-85), the famous Hollywood actor, Academy Award winner, and Vladivostok native, preserved in the V.K. Arseniev Primorsky Regional Unified Museum in Vladivostok. Yul Brynner, whose real name was Iulii Borisovich Briner, was the grandson of the Vladivostok businessman and public figure of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries Iulii Ivanovich Briner (1849-1920), the owner of the lead and zinc mines in Tetiukh (present-day Dalnegorsk) and the shipping company and ship-repair shops in Vladivostok. Most of the Briner family emigrated from Primor'e (the Primorskiy region) in 1931 and lived subsequently in China, France, and the United States. The collection dates from 1923 and the photographs, from different years, depict Yul Brynner himself and his numerous relatives

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Group of Workers at the Zimov'evsko-Meshchaninovskaia Railroad, 1906-1908" offers a glimpse into the industrious world of early 20th-century Russia. Taken by the Dorozhno-Stroitel'nyi Otdel, this image is part of a remarkable collection curated by Yul Brynner, the renowned Hollywood actor and Vladivostok native.
The photograph showcases a group of workers who toiled tirelessly on the Zimov'evsko-Meshchaninovskaia Railroad during its construction between 1906 and 1908. These individuals, their faces etched with determination and resilience, represent an era defined by progress and development in Russia's transportation infrastructure.
Yul Brynner's connection to this collection adds another layer of intrigue. Born Iulii Borisovich Briner, he was not only an Academy Award-winning actor but also the grandson of Iulii Ivanovich Briner—a prominent businessman and public figure in Vladivostok during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Briner family had deep roots in Primor'e (the Primorskiy region), where they owned lead and zinc mines as well as shipping companies.
Interestingly, most members of the Briner family emigrated from Primor'e in 1931 due to political upheaval. They embarked on a journey that took them through China, France, and eventually settling in the United States. This collection serves as a poignant reminder of their ancestral ties to Vladivostok—an homage to their heritage amidst their global travels.
Preserved within the V.K. Arseniev Primorsky Regional Unified Museum in Vladivostok today, these photographs offer viewers an opportunity to delve into history while appreciating both Yul Brynner's personal legacy and his dedication to preserving the rich cultural heritage of his birthplace.
