Natives of Siberia Being Brought Under the Tsar's Rule. Kissing the Ataman's Saber in Expression of Obedience and Loyalty, 19th century. One of 21 watercolors (out of an original 27) from an album relating to the history of the Siberian Cossacks held by the Rare Books Department of the Russian State Library in Moscow. The album was created as a gift for the future Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918, reigned 1895-1917), Most August Ataman of All Cossack Voiskos (Commander of all Cossack troops, a title bestowed by Nicholas I), and presented to him in the summer of 1891 on his return to Saint Petersburg through Siberia from a trip to the Russian Far East.

Natives of Siberia Being Brought Under the Tsar's Rule. Kissing the Ataman's Saber
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor painting by Nikolay Nikolaevich Karazin, depicting a significant moment in the history of Siberia's assimilation into the Russian Empire. The image dates back to the 19th century and is one of 21 surviving watercolors from an album presented to Tsar Nicholas II in 1891. The painting shows a group of Siberian natives, dressed in traditional garb, gathered around an Ataman or Cossack commander. The Ataman, a symbol of Russian authority in Siberia, brandishes his saber as the natives bow in submission, touching the blade with their lips in a gesture of obedience and loyalty. This scene represents the culmination of decades of Russian expansion east of the Ural Mountains, as the Tsar's rule extended further into the vast Siberian territories. The album, created as a gift for the future Tsar Nicholas II, showcases various aspects of Cossack history in Siberia. It begins with the victory of Cossack hetman Ermak Timofeevich over Khan Kuchum in 1582 and continues with subjects from over three centuries of Russian history. The album was likely presented to Tsar Nicholas II during his return journey to Saint Petersburg from a trip to the Russian Far East. The intricate details and vibrant colors in "Natives of Siberia Being Brought Under the Tsar's Rule. Kissing the Ataman's Saber" provide a glimpse into the rich history of Siberia's integration into the Russian Empire. The painting serves as a testament to the complex relationships between the Russian authorities and the indigenous peoples, as well as the enduring influence of the Cossacks in shaping the Russian presence in Siberia.
