On the Porch of the Prison Building, 1906-1911. Creator: Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman
On the Porch of the Prison Building, 1906-1911. This photograph is from an album of 47 views of convicts and structures at the Akatuy Prison, one of the main centers where political prisoners were held in the Russian Empire during the late-tsarist period. The album belonged to Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman, a physician and member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, who was incarcerated at Akatuy from 1906 to 1911. The prison was located at the Akatuy silver mine in Nerchinsk okrug (district) in the Transbaikal Territory of Siberia. Thousands of political prisoners were exiled to Siberia from European Russia and from Poland, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia (all then part of the Russian Empire) following the repression of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Criminal labor convicts and political prisoners had long been sent to Nerchinsk to work in extracting lead-silver ores in the region's mines. Irkutsk State University

On the Porch of the Prison Building, 1906-1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph taken by Isaiah Aronovich Shinkman during his imprisonment at Akatuy Prison in Nerchinsk okrug, Transbaikal Territory, Siberia. This image is one of 47 views of convicts and structures from an album that once belonged to Shinkman, a physician and member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, who was detained at Akatuy from 1906 to 1911. Akatuy Prison was situated at the Akatuy silver mine, a site that had long been used to exile both criminal labor convicts and political prisoners from European Russia and territories such as Poland, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia following the suppression of the Russian Revolution of 1905. The prison served as one of the main centers for holding political prisoners in the Russian Empire during the late-tsarist period. The photograph captures the imposing and foreboding facade of the prison building, with its barred windows and high walls. The image was likely taken from the porch, offering a glimpse into the confines of the prison. The desolate landscape and somber atmosphere of the photograph serve as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions endured by the prisoners. Shinkman's album provides an invaluable record of life inside the prison, offering a unique perspective into the experiences of political prisoners during this tumultuous period in Russian history. The photograph, "On the Porch of the Prison Building, 1906-1911," stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who were imprisoned for their political beliefs, and serves as an important historical document of a pivotal moment in Russian history.
