EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union in World War II. The image shows a group of Russian prisoners of war huddled together in the snow, taking part in a religious service. The Finnish soldiers, known for their respect for the Geneva Conventions, allowed the captives regular and valued devotional hours, a luxury that was frequently denied to them during their time in the Soviet army and under the atheist policies of the Soviet regime. The Winter War, which lasted from November 1939 to March 1940, was a defining moment in Finnish history. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the Finnish forces managed to repel the Soviet invasion, inflicting heavy losses on the Red Army. The treatment of prisoners during the conflict was a point of pride for the Finns, who believed in upholding the principles of humanity and respect for the enemy, even in the harsh conditions of war. The scene depicted in the photograph is a stark contrast to the brutal treatment of prisoners in the Soviet army. The Soviet regime, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, had long suppressed religious practices and persecuted those who held faith. The army, too, followed suit, with religious services and practices being prohibited. The sight of these Russian soldiers, allowed to practice their faith, is a testament to the compassion and humanity shown by the Finnish forces during the conflict. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the complexities of war and the importance of upholding human dignity, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the lines between enemy and captor were blurred by shared humanity, and when the power of faith could offer comfort and solace in the midst of war.
