Tunguz Man in Front of His Yurt, Tunguska, Siberia, 1904-1917 (National Library of Russia) This evocative photograph captures the image of a Tungus man, standing proudly in front of his yurt in the vast expanses of Siberia during the early 20th century. The man, dressed in traditional Tungus clothing, wears a long tunic and trousers, with a fur hat adorned with intricate patterns. He gazes directly at the camera with a confident and unbroken gaze, exuding a sense of strength and resilience. Behind him, the yurt, or ger, is open, revealing the interior with its wooden lattice walls and smoke rising from the central hearth. A milk churn and vat are visible, suggesting that the man is a dairy farmer. The doorways of the yurt are framed by wooden supports, and a postal service box is attached to one of the doors, indicating that this was a stop on the mail route. The Tungus people, also known as the Evenks, are an indigenous ethnic group living in the forests and tundra of Siberia, particularly in the Zabaykalsky Krai region. They are known for their nomadic lifestyle, moving with their herds of reindeer and cattle from place to place. This photograph offers a glimpse into their daily life and the challenges they faced on the frontier of the Russian Empire. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Tungus people and the harsh yet beautiful conditions of Siberia during this period. It is a reminder of the meeting of frontiers, where traditional ways of life met the encroaching modern world.
