School Gymnastics, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
School Gymnastics, 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

School Gymnastics, 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Russian photographer Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev, showcasing a group of Cossack boys engaged in gymnastics exercises in a schoolroom setting. The image is taken from the album "Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma" (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home), which was created for the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The photograph was taken during Katanaev's journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk) in 1909. The boys, dressed in traditional Cossack apparel, are seen in a full-length pose, with their arms outstretched and hands on hips, as they bend forward in various gymnastic postures. The image captures the essence of discipline and education, as the boys keep fit and strong, both physically and mentally. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and traditions of the Cossacks, a historic people who lived on the meeting of frontiers between Europe and Asia. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the spirit of a time when education and physical fitness were integral parts of daily life. The photograph is a valuable addition to the collection of the Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife, and serves as an important reminder of the diverse and fascinating history of Russia and its people. The photograph is a timeless work of art, with its simple yet powerful composition and the boys' focused expressions, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history, culture, or the human spirit. The image is a reminder that, no matter the time or place, the importance of education and physical fitness remains a constant in the human experience.
