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.

This movie is on Prime. I watched most of it but had to stop when the women started dying...

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.

“Fiddler on the Roof” makes me feel the same way. Although I’m a gentile, I have many Jewish friend and wonder about the horrors their ancestors must have gone through.

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.

I'd say the prospects for all of those people are nil, and that is one scary looking woman kommissar...
And none of it was fiction.
BTW that must be a couple of German officers getting their trenchfoot looked at, with their helmets with the Prussian-looking pointy thingies on top. One would wonder what their next stop is.

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.
