Udungui trade route, between Mysovaya and Ulyatui, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Udungui trade route, between Mysovaya and Ulyatui, 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 the renowned revolutionary-populist and social and political activist Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the bustling Udungui trade route between Mysovaya and Ulyatui. The image showcases the intricate network of transportation and exchange that connected Transbaikal Russia with China during this period, which saw tea trade as a significant economic force. Charushin, who began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878, captured the essence of this vibrant trade route through his lens. The photograph reveals a caravan of horses and carts laden with goods, making their way along the rugged terrain. The route, which stretched from Mysovaya to Ulyatui, was a vital artery for the exchange of goods between Russia and China, with tea being a highly sought-after commodity. The photograph is part of a collection of 71 items, including photographs and negatives on glass, that Charushin and N. Petrov produced between the late 19th century and early 20th century. The collection offers a unique perspective on the history of Transbaikal Russia during this time, with an emphasis on the tea trade and its various technological processes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages in Transbaikal. One of the most intriguing aspects of this photograph is the sense of movement and exchange it conveys. The caravan of traders, their horses, and the landscape itself all suggest the dynamic and interconnected nature of the region during this period. Charushin's photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural and economic history of Transbaikal Russia and its ties to China, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
