Russian Empire in the XIX Century
Maksim Dmitriev was born in 1858 in Tambov province. At the age of 15 he became an apprentice of the famous photographer of that time - M.P. Nastiukov, where he obtained basic knowledge about the art of photography. He became famous at the beginning of the 90-s of the XIX century after representation of the exposition called “Bad harvest in Nizhny Novgorod region”, where he showed ruined villages and sick and starving peasants. With this exposition he became the founder of the photo report genre in Russia.

How amusing!!!
Look at that “Traditional Russian fight - fisticuffs. Nizhny Novgorod” picture: http://englishrussia.com/images/russian_empire_XIX_century/13.jpg .
Short while ago, when I noted that fist fits have their special place in Russian traditions (http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=1431#comment-212212 ), someone named Justin (possibly a.k.a. Boris Abramov) called it a “sick racist comment” and was sure that I want to “degrade or insult Russian people and their culture” because of “racial hate” accumulated in my “little Nazi head”.
Justin!!! Go and look at the picture, you asshole!!!

Always put free air in your tires to get free tires and free gas. Everyone likes free gas and tires.
This is the path to happiness, free stuff. Moses loved free stuff, and what we can learn from Moses on the path to happiness is always ask for directions if you are lost.
Always remember to look up, the view is much nicer. I have a picture to illustrate this point.

interesting post, as usual. makes me appreciate the twin blessings of indoor plumbing and penicillin.
Another fascinating window into Russia’s past. Thank you.
Cool!
An excellent addition to your photographic chronicle of Russia and its people. Thank you.
Same quality of life as in Russia today, but with less pollution?-D
I want that double headed eagle hanging over the rail yard!
Oh and tell my roommate to stop using my computer to comment on here.
The Alexandrov bridge is very beautiful. But do the priest and the altar boy in Picture 10 look too much snuggy-snuggly to anyone else?
These are beautiful photographs; I was about to send a friend the URL to this page, but saw the revolting comments and changed my mind. This is unfortunate. If the people maintaining this site are interested in a larger readership, particularly by what is called “word of mouth” (someone tells two other people, who each tells two more people, etc) then you should take this advice: delete frivolous, irrelevant and offensive commentary immediately whenever it appears on your site. If you don’t do this, your audience will remain confined to a very small niche, and will never become popular (except among offensive people). The choice is yours.
The bears must be free.
how can you know that?
This observation is very true, the trolls that hang at this site do it an immense injustice. Some of the content on this site is a great opportunity to share but most of this site is a plethora of untruths and misinformation and that is about which many of the comments are based.
Couldn’t agree more.

Thank you for publishing these exellent photos. They are very interesting. This in a culture deed.
What does the caption “Believers” mean?
Great pictures and great site…
ER.com fan from Houston, TX
“Old Believers” are a faction of the Russian Orthodox Church, who in the 17th century separated from the main church in protest against church reforms that they considered bizarre and unnecessary. They were persecuted to varying degrees until 1905, when religious freedom was decreed.

Old Believeres didn’t sparate, the Church separated from them… and started to kill them.. i know, coz i m a Starover. There were in fact little reforms, but wiith a spectacular result.
Thanks Jane
