EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a regiment of the Soviet Union's cavalry arm stands proudly in Red Square, Moscow, in the year 1939. Amidst the backdrop of the grand architecture of the Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral, the horses and riders are a testament to the rich history and traditions of the Russian military. The USSR army, despite the advancements in modern warfare, still maintained a strong cavalry arm, harkening back to the days of Czarist Russia and the legendary Cossack forces. The riders are seen in their finest uniforms, their horses meticulously groomed and saddled, reflecting the pride and discipline of this elite unit. The year 1939 marks a significant moment in history, as the world was on the brink of the Second World War. The Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, was preparing for the imminent conflict, and the cavalry regiment in Red Square was a part of the formidable forces that were being readied to defend the motherland. The photograph captures a moment of stillness before the storm, as the riders and their horses stand at attention, their gaze fixed ahead. The image is a poignant reminder of the traditions and values that continued to shape the Soviet military, even as the world around it was undergoing rapid change. This photograph, with its historic significance and visual appeal, is a valuable addition to any collection of Russian or military history, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Soviet cavalry arm.
