EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense athleticism and cultural significance. Taken in Russia in 1913, it showcases the traditional Bashkirs kuresh wrestling, a Tatar style of combat that has been passed down through generations. The Bashkirs, a people from central Asia who were conquered by the Russians in the mid-18th century, proudly display their strength and skill in this ancient sport. In this wintry scene, amidst a backdrop of snow-covered landscapes, two contestants clad in coats engage in an enthralling bout. Their powerful movements convey both physical prowess and strategic thinking as they grapple for victory. Surrounding them are spectators braving the cold weather to witness this thrilling spectacle unfold before their eyes. The image not only highlights the artistry of wrestling but also provides insight into Russian history and culture during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of traditions that have withstood time's passage while showcasing the resilience and determination of these athletes. Preserved within the collection of the Russian State Film and Photo Archive at Krasnogorsk, this photograph is an invaluable piece capturing both sporting excellence and cultural heritage. Its monochrome composition adds depth to its historical significance while allowing viewers to appreciate every detail captured within its frame.
