Cossack Village Girls. Kokchetavskii Uezd, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
Cossack Village Girls. Kokchetavskii Uezd, 1909. This image is from Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home), one of three albums depicting the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. These albums were created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The albums were part of a collection of photographs assembled between 1891 and 1918 by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk. The photographs in the albums were taken in 1909 by N.G. Katanaev (son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev), during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk). Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Cossack girls from the Kokchetavskii Uezd, taken in the year 1909 by Russian photographer Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev. The image is part of Katanaev's extensive collection documenting the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. The girls, dressed in traditional Cossack attire, are seen posing in front of a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear blue sky. Their vibrant, intricately patterned dresses and headscarves contrast sharply against the natural surroundings, highlighting the unique blend of Russian and nomadic influences that defined Cossack culture. At the time, this photograph was included in Katanaev's album "Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home," which was created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The album, along with two others in the collection, was assembled between 1891 and 1918 by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk. Katanaev's journey to the Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk) in 1909 yielded a wealth of images that provide valuable insights into the daily lives and traditions of these communities. This photograph, in particular, offers a glimpse into the lives of the younger generation, showcasing their resilience, beauty, and connection to their heritage.
