Виды и типы Нерчинской каторги Фотографии Алексей Кириллович Кузнецов 1891 год Servitude in Nerchinsk Prison Photographs by Alexei K. Kuznetsov 1891 Here I present an album of photographs taken in 1891 of the Nerchinsk katoorga. This was part of the katorga system of the Russian Empire located close to the border with Mongolia situated between the Rivers Shilka and Argun in the region of Transbaikalia , known today as Chita. Katorga labour was used for mining lead ore and silver on lands belonging to the emperor and included foundries, wine-making and salt-processing factories. From 1826 until the Revolution, this Katorga was used for political prisoners. Among the exiled convicts were Decembrists, Polish insurgents Narodniks and Social Democrats. Music: "From the Isle of the Dead" by S. Rachmaninoff
