EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the desperation and chaos of the Eastern Front during World War I, as Russian troops make a hasty retreat from a suspected German cavalry attack in 1917. The image, taken at a monastery, shows a group of weary Russian soldiers running for their lives, with the ominous figure of a church in the background. By this stage in the war, the Russian army was becoming increasingly demoralised, with low morale, poor leadership, and a lack of supplies taking their toll. The sight of Russian soldiers on the run from the advancing German forces would have been a common one on the Eastern Front, as the tide of the war began to turn against the Russians. The great conflict, which had begun in 1914, was taking a heavy toll on both sides, and the end was not yet in sight. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides during World War I.
