Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia) is a two-volume work published in Saint Petersburg in 1862 to mark the millennium of the founding of the Russian Empire (traditionally traced to the founding of the state of Kievan Rus in 862).

Volume 2 is all text, and consists of detailed essays, in French, about the ethnic groups of the empire, their history, culture, language, and so forth, -which reflect the state of anthropological and historical knowledge of the 1860s.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Zakharov in 1862, showcases a group of Bashkirs, a Turkic-speaking people indigenous to the Ural Mountains in Russia. The image is part of a larger ethnographic project titled "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia), published in two volumes in Saint Petersburg in 1862. The project was dedicated to Tsar Alexander II and aimed to document the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting the Russian Empire at the time of its millennial anniversary. The photograph is taken from Sheet 41 of Volume 1, which consists of 62 colored illustrations depicting various ethnic groups in their traditional attire. The volume also includes a fold-out table detailing the size of each group's population in various cities within the empire and a colored-coded ethnographic map. The second volume of the work is purely textual and provides detailed essays on the history, culture, language, and other aspects of the ethnic groups of the empire. Gustav-Fedor Pauli, a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia, was the driving force behind this comprehensive ethnographic study. The project reflects the state of anthropological and historical knowledge of the 1860s and offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of the Russian Empire during this period.
