In the Arithmetic Lesson, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
In the Arithmetic Lesson, 1909. This image is from Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home), one of three albums depicting the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. These albums were created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The albums were part of a collection of photographs assembled between 1891 and 1918 by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk. The photographs in the albums were taken in 1909 by N.G. Katanaev (son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev), during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk). Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1900s, we witness a moment of focused learning in a Cossack schoolroom. Taken by Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev in 1909 during his journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai, this image is part of a larger collection housed in the Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife. The photograph was originally featured in the album "Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma" (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home), which was exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The scene captures three young Cossack boys intently engaged in an arithmetic lesson. They are dressed in traditional uniforms, their crisp white shirts and black vests contrasting sharply with the dark wooden walls and blackboard behind them. The teacher, also in uniform, stands at the front of the room, watching over the boys with a stern expression. The boys' serious expressions and postures convey a sense of discipline and dedication to their education. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Cossack children and the importance placed on education in their community. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Cossacks, who played an integral role in the history of Russia and the development of Siberia. The photograph's timeless quality and the boys' focused expressions make it a compelling and enduring image from the 20th century.
