some more Caucassian pics

[Tatyana Dianova]

The first picture is not from Caucasus, but from Ukraine.
It is signed:
"Yuhym Bozhko, Otaman of the second infantry division of the Zaporozhian Sich, Year 1919"
Otaman is a military commander of the Ukrainian Cossacks.
An interesting photo.

This photo is especially interesting given the fact that the Zaporozhian Sich was liquidated in 1775.

Thank you both for the additional info. So 1775, perhaps he might have been also an inspiration for the character of Taras Bulba (like for instance Okhrim Makukha)
