EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the "Disciples of Tolstoy, the Colony of Russian Exiles at Christchurch, Hants". Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on March 22nd, 1902. In the photo, we see members of the colony gathered together in what appears to be a garden setting. A patriarchal meal is taking place with disciples seated around a table enjoying dinner. The atmosphere exudes unity and purpose as they engage in deep conversation and contemplation. This community of exiled families from Russia found solace and refuge under the leadership of Leo Tolstoy. They worked diligently to spread his teachings through pamphlets and printing materials seen scattered throughout the scene. A manager oversees their typesetting work while servants attend to their needs. Vladimir Tcherkoff, one of Tolstoy's closest followers, can be identified among them. Their dedication to Tolstoy's ideals is palpable as they strive towards creating a better world based on love, simplicity, and equality. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in history when individuals sought sanctuary far away from their homeland but remained steadfastly committed to their cause. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity and exile, hope can flourish through shared beliefs and collective action.
