EDITORS COMMENTS
Prisoners at work, Sakhalin, Russia, 1890s. This powerful print captures the harsh reality of life in the prison labour camps on Sakhalin Island during the late 19th century. The artist, Innokenty Ignatievich Pavlovsky, skillfully portrays the concept of hardship and punishment through his depiction of men engaged in hard labor. Sakhalin Island, located off the Pacific coast of Siberia, became infamous for its katorga camps starting from 1857. These camps were established as a means to punish criminals and enforce law and order in Russia. Anton Chekhov's visit to Sakhalin in 1891 shed light on the appalling conditions within these camps, which he later documented in his book 'Sakhalin Island'. In this photograph, we see prisoners toiling away with their wheelbarrows under the watchful eyes of guards. The monochrome composition adds a sense of solemnity and emphasizes their plight. Each man's face tells a story of struggle and resilience against an unforgiving landscape. This image serves as a poignant reminder of human suffering endured by those imprisoned for their crimes or political dissent during that era. It is now part of the collection at Institut of Russian Literature IRLI (Pushkin-House), preserving this historical record for future generations. Through Pavlovsky's artistry and Chekhov's writings, we are compelled to reflect upon our own notions about
