EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative group photograph taken on December 27, 1918, at Fort Omaha in Nebraska, USA, eleven Russian men, identified as Bolsheviks, proudly don their US Army long coats. The image captures a unique moment during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, a period when the United States and other Western powers attempted to support the White Russian forces against the Bolsheviks. The Russian men, bundled up against the winter chill, exude a sense of determination and resilience. Their US Army coats, with their distinctive collar insignia and long length, were likely issued to them as part of their military aid from the United States. The photo offers a glimpse into the complex geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century, where alliances and allegiances shifted rapidly. Fort Omaha, a historic site in Omaha, Nebraska, served as a training ground and base for various military units during this time. The presence of these Russian men at the fort underscores the international nature of the conflict and the role the United States played in shaping the outcome of the Russian Civil War. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the intricate web of global events that unfolded during the 1910s, and the lasting impact of military interventions in shaping the political landscape of various nations. The image also speaks to the human element of war, as eleven individuals, far from their homeland, come together in a shared cause, dressed in the uniform of a foreign army.
