A reader and friend shared this Denver Post link from last fall to a collection of color photographs of Russia from ca. 1905, just before the War to End All Wars, and the Bolshevik Revolution. It's truly a foreign time and place. The Library of Congress, which has the photos, has more on its own website, and you can find more of them on the LOC's page for the photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii here.
