Circum-Baikal trade route: Utulik River, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Circum-Baikal trade route: Utulik River, end of 19th century.
From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The collection illustrates aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Nikolay Apollonovich Charushin at the end of the 19th century, depicts the Utulik River along the Circum-Baikal trade route. Charushin, a revolutionary-populist and social and political activist, captured this image as part of a collection of 71 photographs and negatives, which he produced during his time in the Transbaikal Territory. During this period, the tea trade with China was a significant economic force in the region. Charushin's collection offers a unique glimpse into this aspect of Transbaikal history, illustrating various stages of tea cultivation and preparation, as well as sections of the trade routes and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal. In this photograph, the Utulik River, a vital transportation artery for the tea trade, winds through the landscape, connecting the region to the vast markets of China. The image offers a glimpse into the rugged terrain and harsh conditions that traders and travelers faced as they navigated the route. Charushin's photographic journey took him to Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at that time, where he captured several images, including one of the imposing Russian consulate. These photographs offer a fascinating insight into the political and economic relationships between Russia, Mongolia, and China during this period.
