EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the graves in the cemetery of Novodevichy Convent, Moscow, Russia, in 1929. The convent, situated on the picturesque bank of Moskva River, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1524. Originally established to commemorate a significant military victory, it later became an important religious institution. However, political turmoil swept through Russia during the early 20th century. In 1922, as part of their campaign against religion and traditional institutions, the Bolsheviks closed down Novodevichy Convent and transformed it into a museum. For several decades it stood neglected and overgrown—a haunting symbol of rebellion against faith. Yet hope emerged from this bleak period when nuns were able to return to Novodevichy Convent in 1994 following the fall of the Soviet Union. This image serves as a reminder not only of past struggles but also resilience and revival. The photograph's monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to its portrayal of these forgotten graves. It evokes contemplation about life's transience while showcasing Russian Orthodox crosses standing tall amidst nature's embrace. Preserved within the collection of Russian State Film and Photo Archive at Krasnogorsk, this image offers us a glimpse into history—capturing both architectural grandeur and political upheaval that shaped Russia during those turbulent times.
