Cossack Women of Presnogor'kovsk Village, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
Cossack Women of Presnogor'kovsk Village, 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
This print titled "Cossack Women of Presnogor'kovsk Village, 1909" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Cossacks living in western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. Created by Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev, this image is part of a larger collection called "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 albums were meticulously curated by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society between 1891 and 1918. This particular photograph captures a moment frozen in time during Katanaev's journey to various Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later known as Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk oblasts).
In this image, we see a group of strong-willed Cossack women from Presnogor'kovsk Village proudly showcasing their traditional attire. Their vibrant dresses adorned with intricate patterns reflect their deep-rooted connection to their culture. The women exude confidence as they stand together against an idyllic backdrop that hints at both beauty and resilience.
Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when these remarkable women played an integral role within their community. Their unwavering spirit embodies the strength and determination that characterized the lives of many Cossack women during this era.
Preserved within the Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife today, Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev's work serves as a valuable testament to not only preserving history but also celebrating diverse cultures that have shaped our world.
