I love it, the old photos, the post. Thanks.
Yes,1893 it is, dated by the portrait of Tsar Alexander III. His reign would end in a year with his death by nephritis. And looking at these pics reminds me of the socialist sailors on the Battleship Potemkin in another 12 years.

The first picture is the original Village People.
It would be interesting to know exactly where these these photos where taken and what the special event was.
