EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Vladimir Ivanovich Fedorov in 1909, captures the image of an elderly peasant from the village of Bardagon in the Amur Oblast of Russia. The man, dressed in traditional Old Believer apparel, is shown in a head and shoulders shot, wearing a fur hat and a long, thick beard. He is depicted as an agricultural laborer, his hands calloused and worn from years of hard work on the farm. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rural life and the simple, yet enduring fashion of the early 20th century. The sepia tone adds to the historic and nostalgic feel of the image. The Old Believers were a religious sect that split from the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century, and they continued to practice their unique traditions and way of life in isolated communities in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. This photograph, now housed in the Amur Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife, is a valuable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural heritage of Russia's rural communities.
