Hi Lara! This is a really fascinating picture that you chose, and I think you asked some really great questions about it! I really like that you connected your picture to bigger events that were taking place in Russia – this is a really good way to start an analysis. How do you think the location in which these soldiers were located might have affected their experience in the war? Why might military men have been willing to participate in the upcoming uprisings?
Hi Peter, this a good analysis of the Cossacks! I like that noted their loyalty to the tsar and connected it to events that we’ll be discussing soon, like Bloody Sunday. You also found some fantastic pictures that clearly how the world viewed Cossacks. It might be interesting to explore the implications of their violent reputations. Great job citing your images!
Hi Ryan! I really like how you’ve analyzed the ethnic makeup of the region depicted in this photograph. What do you think were the implications of having so many different ethnicities in the Russian Empire? How might this have affected later developments in Russian history? Also, one way to upgrade this post would be to include hyperlinks to various primary and secondary sources throughout your post!
