EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of hundreds of Russian troops camped outside their encampment near Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), during the Russo-Turkish War (April 24, 1877 – March 3, 1878). The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are lined up in an orderly fashion, with their tents and equipment spread out behind them. The men appear focused and determined, as they prepare for the next stage of the conflict. The Russo-Turkish War was a significant military engagement between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, which arose from the long-standing tensions between the two powers over territorial disputes and religious differences. The war began on April 24, 1877, when Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire, and the fighting continued until March 3, 1878, when a peace treaty was signed. The Russian troops in this photograph were likely part of the army that besieged the city of Plevna (now Pleven, Bulgaria), which was a major battleground in the war. The soldiers in the photograph are waiting for their next orders, guarding their camp, and preparing for the next battle. This historical image offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the Russo-Turkish War and the challenges they faced during this significant conflict in European history.
