Kulikovsky and Shinkman, 1906-1911. Creator: Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman
Kulikovsky and Shinkman, 1906-1911. This photograph is from an album of 47 views of convicts and structures at the Akatuy Prison, one of the main centers where political prisoners were held in the Russian Empire during the late-tsarist period. The album belonged to Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman, a physician and member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, who was incarcerated at Akatuy from 1906 to 1911. The prison was located at the Akatuy silver mine in Nerchinsk okrug (district) in the Transbaikal Territory of Siberia. Thousands of political prisoners were exiled to Siberia from European Russia and from Poland, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia (all then part of the Russian Empire) following the repression of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Criminal labor convicts and political prisoners had long been sent to Nerchinsk to work in extracting lead-silver ores in the region's mines. Irkutsk State University

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber encounter between two men, Kulikovsky and Shinkman, at Akatuy Prison in Transbaikal Russia between 1906 and 1911. The image is part of an album belonging to Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman, a physician and Socialist Revolutionary Party member, who was imprisoned in this notorious facility during those years. Akatuy Prison, situated at the Akatuy silver mine in Nerchinsk okrug, was one of the main centers where political prisoners were held in the late-tsarist period. Thousands of individuals were exiled to Siberia from European Russia and territories such as Poland, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia following the repression of the Russian Revolution of 1905. The prison's inmates, a mix of criminal labor convicts and political prisoners, had long been sent to Nerchinsk to work in extracting lead-silver ores in the region's mines. In this photograph, Shinkman, the photographer, and Kulikovsky, the subject, gaze intently at each other through the bars of their prison cell. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of life in a Siberian prison during a pivotal moment in Russian history. Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman's album, now held at Irkutsk State University, stands as a valuable historical record of this period. The photograph, with its raw and unadorned beauty, underscores the human cost of political repression and the enduring power of the human spirit.
