EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the tumultuous Russian Civil War, specifically at Lijma Station near Lake Onega in the Republic of Karelia, northwestern Russia. The scene depicts a group of Bolshevik prisoners, their faces etched with exhaustion and despair, standing by the railway track. The station, now known as Medvezhyegorsk, was captured by British forces between September 14 and 16, 1919. The British intervention in the Russian Civil War, which lasted from 1918 to 1920, saw various foreign powers, including the United Kingdom, attempt to influence the outcome of the conflict between the Bolsheviks and the White Army. The prisoners in this image are likely Red Army soldiers or civilians who were captured during the battle for Lijma. Their capture marked a significant victory for the British and their White Russian allies, but came at a cost to the local population. The railway track behind them is a reminder of the strategic importance of the region's transportation infrastructure during this period of upheaval. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the human cost of the Russian Civil War and the complex geopolitical dynamics of the time.
