History can be studied from textbooks, from eyewitness accounts, from documentary footage, and also from photographs. This review contains photographs from a century ago that can tell a lot about the history of Russia. The photographer captured the most interesting and significant events, and today you can imagine how it really was.
1. Transportation of kerosene
In the 19th century, only kerosene was used from petroleum products, and the resulting gasoline and other petroleum products had extremely limited use. For example, gasoline was used for pharmaceutical and veterinary purposes, as well as a household solvent, and therefore large stocks of petrol were simply burned out or poured into special drain pits.
2. One of the stages of the construction of a railway bridge
The railway bridge over the Yenisei River is located in Krasnoyarsk. In its original form, it was a single-track structure. The length of the bridge is 1 km, the width of the spans is up to 140 meters, the height of the metal trusses at the top of the parabola is 20 meters.
3. Ambulance bike carriage
Bicycle carriages were used as official transport by various emergency services such as the police, ambulance and fire brigade. This is due to the fact that bicycle carriages in some cases allowed you to move around the city faster than other vehicles.

In Russia, fistfights were usually carried out from Maslenitsa to Trinity, less often from Kolyada to Petrov's day.
