In late XIXth century the only unit of Persian army that remains operational is a persian cossack brigade, 8000 strong. New persian Shah, Pahlavi was it commander.

Attached are the photographs of Lyahov, brigade's early commander (with a kindjal). During the was between Shah and northern constitutionalists army of Sattar Khan (composed of Azeri with a few armenians, georgians, kurds etc.) cossack troops of Russia were asked to enter southern azerbaijan to supress azeris-constitutionalists. The next photograph - russians hang Sattar Khan's family (see their swords).
