EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of disembarkation for General Anton Denikin and his family as they arrived in Southampton, England, on June 14, 1920. The Denikins were prominent anti-Bolshevist exiles from Russia, fleeing the turmoil and chaos of the Russian Revolution and the ensuing Russian Civil War. In this image, General Denikin, dressed in military uniform, is seen helping his wife and their young daughter down the steps of the Emperor of India, a battleship that had brought them across the North Sea. The family's entourage, including soldiers and sailors, watches from the deck as the Denikins take their first steps on British soil. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as the Denikins represented a symbol of hope and resistance against the Bolshevik regime that had taken control of Russia. The backdrop of battleships and sailors adds to the sense of drama and importance, making this a powerful and poignant image from the 1920s. With the family's uncertain future ahead of them, they begin their new life as exiles in a foreign land, leaving behind the familiar landscapes and people of their homeland.
