Great pictures. I just finished reading “The Guns of August” and it reminded me of how the Russians pretty much bathed themselves in ineptitude in WWI. But they had bigger problems on the horizon than the Germans at that time.

Seriously...these photos look like they were taken yesterday with an iPhone 10.

Thanks for posting.
I love early color photos, including ones that have been colorized.
I’m a big fan of autochromes, as well.

Amazing photos!
I wonder how many of them survived WW1, the civil war, the purges, and WW2?

Wow! Thanks for posting.
These are beautiful and vivid. Some painstaking work went into the colorization.

Interesting to see the Eastern Front colorized. I’m looking forward to seeing Peter Jackson’s restored videos of the Western Front soldiers.

I have a Tusla Mosin Nagant made in 1927. One of those guys could have carried it.

Amazing photos. The 11th photo shows Russian soldiers with Japanese Type 30 Arisaka rifles with bayonets fixed.
The Russian Empire purchased as many as 600,000 of these rifles during and after WWI.

Wow, great post! Beautiful people from long ago brought back to life.
Loved the detail of this one, the ship's priest, the ship's doctor and the ship's cat—I enhanced the color—looks like an oil painting:
