On behalf of the Imperial Court, Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky documented the Russian Empire between the years 1905 and 1915, all in colour, as one of the first in the world to use this technique, and long before "real" colour photography had been invented.

It is amazing how you react differently seeing the old world in colour compared to seeing it in greyscale.

Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending

Russia sure honored JESUS  and GOD with the most awesome beautiful Churches I've ever seen.  God bless the Russian people for these structures.

This is the world of my great-grandparents, who were Jewish peasants living in the Russian Empire at around this time, specifically Grandma Rose and Grandpa Hyman!

The Bolshevik coup in October 1917 was a tragedy for Russia . This was to lead to perhaps 30 million deaths in civil war, gulags and created famines that devastated Ukraine. All could have been so different. The consequences of that tragedy are with us today .

These could pass for 1970s or 1960s photos.
