EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures General Lavr Georgiyevich Kornilov (1870-1918) on horseback during the tumultuous period of the First World War and the Russian Civil War. Kornilov, a distinguished officer in the Imperial Russian Army, is seen here in full military regalia, adorned with numerous medals and decorations, including the Order of St. George and the Sign of Distinction for Bravery. The general's overcoat, complete with intricate gold braid and insignia, adds to the grandeur of the image. In the background, the vast expanse of a battlefield stretches out, a testament to the great wars that were being waged during this time. Kornilov, a key figure in Russian military history, played a significant role in the Brusilov Offensive of 1916 and later attempted a coup against the Russian Provisional Government in 1917, known as the Kornilov Affair. Despite his military successes, Kornilov's political ambitions ultimately led to his downfall. This photograph, taken circa 1917, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of the Russian military experience during a time of war and revolution. The general's intense gaze and determined posture on horseback convey a sense of resolve and determination, making this image a powerful representation of the courage and leadership displayed by officers during this pivotal moment in history.
