Crimean war peepshow

Our Russian Jager reenactor friends made a peepshow - a traditional popular entertainment in the 1850s in Russia for the event at the Alma - go here to see photos of the results.

  1. I really like that these Russians are doing camp life along with "battle." Seeing the Crimean War only from the British view in my reading, I thought that the Russians were anonymous brutes. Seeing Russians research and recreate their own past gives me some empathy for the Russians in that war.
    Thanks for posting.
