Thank you very interesting photos. The general uniform impressed, it looks very impressive and solid.

Under the Tsar-priest, a separate border guard corps was under the Ministry of Finance. I think that this was primarily due to the fight against the smuggling of goods. Upon successful operations, the border units received their percentage from the further sale of requisitioned goods, which was aimed at improving the nutrition of personnel and bonuses.
For encouragement and rewarding, a medal "For Bravery" of four degrees was instituted, for rewarding lower ranks and non-commissioned officers of irregular troops and border guards for military merits in peacetime ...

At all times, the border service has become heroic, it is clear why. It is a remarkable fact that the first painting acquired by P.M. Tretyakov for his greatest collection of paintings was V. Khudyakov's painting "Clash with Finnish Smugglers" ... A very remarkable fact.

Old Russian ...

You look at old photographs and think about the people depicted on them, lived, served, cared about the security of the state, cheered for Mother Russia, how their fate subsequently developed, in what places they were scattered by a cruel year and whether their descendants are alive, and whether there are they are.

After a century, our skiers look strange. Indeed, in Russia there was a lot of fabric, sheepskin, felt boots, earflaps, mittens. And how poorly dressed are the defenders. Really it was already impossible then to compare with the Alpine shooters. After all, there were good artists in Russia who could make practical clothes. It’s a pity that people are ours - Russians. I have the honor.
