EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of triumph and relief as Russian forces entered Prague, the capital city of Czechoslovakia, towards the end of World War Two in 1945. A young Russian female soldier, her face etched with the exhaustion and determination of battle, rides into the city on horseback. The wind whips through her long hair as she gazes out at the devastated landscape before her, a bullet hole in the windscreen of her vehicle a stark reminder of the violence and destruction that had recently engulfed the region. The relief on her face speaks volumes, as she represents the hope and promise of peace that the end of the war brought to the people of Prague and Czechoslovakia. The scene is a poignant testament to the courage and resilience of the women who served in the military during this tumultuous time in history. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the Second World War, and the ultimate victory of peace and unity that followed.
