Kissing Leaving


EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment of faith and devotion as a Russian soldier bids farewell to his loved ones before departing to the front lines during wartime. In this evocative image, the soldier is seen deeply embracing a wooden cross, his eyes closed in prayer as he takes a moment to seek comfort and strength from his religious beliefs. The simple yet profound gesture speaks volumes about the soldier's courage, resilience, and unwavering faith in the face of imminent danger. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout history during times of war. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and reverence, transporting us back to a time when the world was gripped by the horrors and uncertainties of conflict. The soldier's uniform and the intricately carved cross suggest that this image may have been taken during one of Russia's many wars, such as the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) or World War I (1914-1918). Regardless of the specific conflict, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to find solace and hope in the darkest of times. The photograph's historical significance is further underscored by its provenance as an original print from the Mary Evans Picture Library, a renowned archive of historical and cultural images. The print's high-quality resolution and intricate details allow us to fully appreciate the emotional depth and historical context of this poignant moment in time.
