Road From Beloretsk to Kliuchi, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
Road From Beloretsk to Kliuchi, 1909. This image is from Vidy territorii Sibirskogo kazach'ego voiska (Views of the territory of the Siberian Cossack Host), 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 "Road From Beloretsk to Kliuchi, 1909" takes us on a journey through the vast territories of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. Created by Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev, this image is part of the remarkable collection called "Views of the territory of the Siberian Cossack Host."
The photograph was taken during a momentous expedition in 1909 by N.G. Katanaev himself, son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev. This particular road leads from Beloretsk to Kliuchi, showcasing the rugged beauty and untamed nature of Stepnoi krai.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness four individuals traversing along a dirt track that winds its way through rocky terrain. A group consisting of both men and women walks together, their full-length figures silhouetted against the striking landscape.
This image not only captures a remote location but also provides insight into the culture and way of life for those living in these steppe regions. It serves as an invaluable record preserved within the Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife.
Through this photograph, we can appreciate how photography becomes a powerful medium for documenting history and preserving heritage art. The meticulous attention to detail showcased by Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev allows us to immerse ourselves in this distant era.
With each glance at this still image from over a century ago, our curiosity grows about what lies beyond that winding road – what stories unfold within those Cossack settlements waiting just out of sight?
