EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a poignant moment in the history of Siberian exile as a party of convicts and their families prepare to embark on a river barge at Tumen (now Tyumen) in western Siberia, between 1885 and 1886. The male convicts, dressed in ragged clothing and chains, stand anxiously on the riverbank, while their wives and children wait on the barge. The barge, with its simple wooden construction and makeshift accommodations, is a stark reminder of the harsh living conditions that awaited them in their new homes. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Tura River, a major waterway that served as a vital transportation route for the movement of people and goods in the vast expanse of Siberia. The convicts and exiles were being transported to Tomsk, a city located further north, as part of the Russian government's policy of colonizing Siberia and settling its sparsely populated regions. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of Russia's expansion into Siberia and the harsh realities of life for those who were forced to leave their homes and families behind and start anew in a foreign land. The women and children in the image, with their hopeful expressions and bundles of belongings, offer a glimpse into the human side of this historical moment. The exact creator of this image is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the historical record of Siberian exile and the meeting of frontiers in Russia's vast and diverse landscape.
