1887 Anarchist Arrest Camp Exile Gulag Nihilist Political Prisoner Siberia Siberian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "RUSSIAN ANARCHISTS. Russian nihilists on the way to Siberia" takes us back in time to the year 1887, during a period of political unrest in Russia. The wood engraving, created by an English artist, beautifully captures the somber atmosphere surrounding a group of Russian anarchists as they make their way towards exile in Siberia. The image portrays an exterior scene, possibly at a late stage of their journey. We see a desolate landscape that echoes the harshness of their impending destination - Siberia. The camp where these political prisoners are held is not visible but its presence can be felt through the expressions on their faces; resignation mixed with determination. The arrest and subsequent exile depicted here represents a dark chapter in Russian history when dissenting voices were silenced and freedom was curtailed. These individuals, labeled as anarchists or nihilists by authorities, were sent to labor camps known as gulags where they endured unimaginable hardships. Through this powerful wood engraving from 1887, we catch a glimpse into the lives of those who dared to challenge authority and fight for their beliefs. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave souls in pursuit of justice and freedom. This print from Granger Art on Demand is not just an artistic representation but also an important historical document that sheds light on one aspect of Russia's tumultuous past.
