Driving Dogs, 1890. Creator: Ivan Nikolaevich Krasnov
Driving Dogs, 1890.
This photograph is from a collection consisting of an album and individual photographs preserved in the Aleksandrovsk Municipal History and Literature Museum "A.P. Chekhov and Sakhalin" in Alekandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy, Sakhalin Island (off Russia's southeast coast). The photographs were taken on Sakhalin Island during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and provide rare glimpses of the island's settlements, prisons, and inhabitants. Sakhalin Island was used by imperial Russia as a penal colony and place of exile for criminals and political prisoners. Between 1869 and 1906, more than 30, 000 inmates and exiles endured the difficult conditions of the forced-labor colony on the island. The collection depicts public life and institutions in the town of Aleksandrovsk Post, convicts working under harsh conditions or in chains, and political prisoners. The photographs also show the daily life both of the Nivkh people, indigenous to the northern part of the island, and the Russian settler population

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by Ivan Nikolaevich Krasnov. Preserved in the Aleksandrovsk Municipal History and Literature Museum "A.P. Chekhov and Sakhalin," this photograph offers us a rare glimpse into the intriguing history of Sakhalin Island.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Sakhalin Island served as a penal colony for imperial Russia, housing criminals and political prisoners. This collection of photographs showcases various aspects of life on the island during that time period.
The town of Aleksandrovsk Post comes to life through these images, revealing its public spaces and institutions. We witness convicts toiling under harsh conditions or chained together, providing an unsettling insight into their daily existence within the forced-labor colony.
Moreover, Krasnov's lens also captures glimpses of political prisoners who were exiled to Sakhalin Island. These individuals endured both physical and emotional hardships while living in isolation from society.
Beyond depicting the lives of inmates and exiles, this collection sheds light on everyday life for both the Nivkh people - indigenous inhabitants of northern Sakhalin - as well as Russian settlers. Through these photographs, we gain valuable insights into their customs, traditions, and interactions with one another.
Overall, "Driving Dogs" serves not only as a visual testament to Ivan Nikolaevich Krasnov's skillful photography but also acts as an invaluable historical record documenting an era marked by punishment and exile on Sakhalin Island.
