EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chilling Christmas Greeting from the Eastern Front: The Border between Poland and Russia, 1921 As the winter snow blankets the desolate landscape, a sense of unease settles over the border between Poland and Russia. The haunting image before us, captured in 1921, depicts a barren track leading into the unknown, with a lone railway line cutting through the snowy expanse. The road, barely visible beneath the drifts, seems to disappear into the distance, leaving only the sound of the wind to break the silence. But what lies hidden in the mysterious pile of snow and wire-covered bundles on the right? Is it a mere heap of discarded belongings, or a chilling reminder of the countless lives lost during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution and the Polish-Soviet War? The mind wanders as the imagination conjures up macabre images of the past. The barbed wire that crisscrosses the landscape serves as a stark reminder of the political tensions and the closed borders that once separated these two nations. The railway, a lifeline for the people, now stands as a symbol of the connection and division that exists between them. As the holiday season approaches, this haunting scene offers a unique and darkly humorous take on the traditional Christmas card. May the spirit of the season bring warmth and light to your hearts, as you ponder the mysteries of the past and the complexities of the present.
