This is how the average Russian dressed before Communism. Still think the Bolsheviks were good?

this is how 8% of russian dressed in 1600
This was before Peter the Great imbecile
I said before Communism.
the bolsheviks were 55% ((youknowwho)) despite being 1.8% of the Russian population. once again the old nemesis strikes where least expected, or remembered, by the general public
the Bolsheviks were authoritarian state capitalists that damaged the socialist cause
Nigger that literally upper class clothing, way before Peter the Great even. Here is your average Russian though.
However ((bolsheviks)) did rip off everything they could, that is true.
looks somewhat comfy
>the average Russian
had fucking nothing before communism. up to a third of the population was aristocrats, and bled their serfs dry.
Just ask the poles about the soldiers stationed with them. They put up newspaper on the walls, because it was a fucking treasure to them.
>This is how the average Russian dressed
lol, no
Looks asiatic.
...
Moar plz
>up to a third of the population was aristocrats
Really? That's a lot. I really doubt there were that many
>That snazzy as fuck coat
It's a shame that clothes seem to have gone through the same revolution as architecture
We have actual photos of average people, you know.
...
>average
kek
/fa/ as fuck, i gotta say russian culture is pretty appealing without all 20th century of course
...
...
up to 10%, just like here but we had that magical system where serfs were hohols and in poland we had rather humane land ownership system
Poor hohols, they always get the short end of the stick.
>Average Russians dressed like super- rich clergy before 1915
Uh, no. Most of them were filthy, grimy-ass peasants
Anywhere at anytime before ~1930 the average person would likely be a grimy-ass peasant
>WE

Alert Kanye, we found his new clothing line.
Mongols have strongly influenced the Russian medieval fashion.
Why are Tussian women so hot while the men are Neanderthals?
No, that's not how they dressed
You mean Byzantines.
>tfw no comfy Russian empire
two interlacing squares looks satanic as fuck, it's like a vandalized david star
I think both did, though you are right in that it was more the Byzantines. Cultural connection was longer than that of the Mongols.
>comfy
Kys; in Russia you were either an aristocrat or a serf.
Serfdom was still implemented in Russia for many centuries compared to the rest of Europe
...
Are you saying these pics don't look comfy?
They do but I doubt living there actually was.
>Here is your average Russian
Comfy!
Reminds me of this. t. Sup Forums crossposter.
pretty /fa/ desu

You want /fa/?
Pretty interesting to see all these ancient color photos.
Both Finland/Mongols and Byzantine influence Russia
These pictures do not entirely represent how life was during tsarist rule; however, they do look artistic.
They could potentially be less than a hundred years old.
Nobody thinks bolsheviks are good user
You call that /fa/?
Watch this
>tfw you will never be unironically dressed like this
Tell me about the Slav, why does he squat?
I guess.
It could, all I know is that there was this guy who was sent out to document the Russian empire in color photos in the years 1909-1915.

These are from 1905-1915
>Serfdom was still implemented in Russia for many centuries compared to the rest of Europe
It's not like the peasants were negroes on plantations. It was a rational arrangement of agrarian economics in a country that was able to defeat then-mighy Sweden, Poland and France. Otherwise everything would be too chaotic and in disarray and it would be we who shared the fate of Poland and be treated inhumane by a foreign invader. As soon as the industrial revolution had started and railways were built this order was changed.
The serfdom was implemented as a scientific and calculated decision.
>Far into the early 1900's
>Still wore tunics like it's the middle ages.
Why? What's the point of the belt on the outside?
>tf
Russia was a self nation before the revolution so it was basically glorified slavery.
And yeah they would use newspaper to insulate their walls as a luxury. But it was the same sort of rules for a long time, serfs could be killed whipped or torturerd and had their marriages arranged etc.
More /fa/ pics
>It's not like the peasants were negroes on plantations.
They pretty much were though.
>had their marriages arranged
You mean by their lords? Wow that sucks if that were the case
Also, the guy who is responsible for these pictures.
compared to our semi-enslaved neighbours, no there weren't
His pictures are amazing, not only for their quality but for capturing a long forgotten way of life on the cusp of joining the modern world
The quality is amazing indeed.
But I also enjoy them mostly for their historic value, the color does make it more vivid.
...
Russia is the ideological successor of the Byzantines. The Greeks lay claim to their lineage, but the spirit was choked from them under ottoman occupation.
Russia is a bastard son of Rome in the similar sense that France is.
R8 my great-great-great-grandfather
Bourgeois/10
more like 0,08% bra
High class/10
He actually was a serf or peasant
Bolshevism is a dangerous parasitic cancer that need to be eradicated at its roots in order for humanity to progress.
Pretty cool looking for a serf
You can see that whore's face, disgusting
>t. Muzzy
...
We can't all have rich ancestry but it's still quite interesting.
Pic related is a painting of my great-grandfather, I don't even know about any family before him, pictures are scarce as they were very expensive back then, all I know is that they were poor but hard working people.
Of course, of all times, now I manage to forget the pic.
you've been lied to. he is not a serf. i am a russian american - i have seen pictures of my great ancestors and they never had suits.
your family was bourgeois.
Looks Caucasian (as in the Caucus Mountains, not just basic white people)
Yeah, it's Dagestan.
But before slavery was over in Murica.
Socialism makes everything ugly. Architecture, culture, turns women into fat feminists
Looks like an Inuit or smth

There were hierarchy within serfs. If a serf is smart he could keep a managerial position, if he's way too smart he could get a way out of serfdom and start another career. If he works hard he gets bonuses. And so on. You somehow have to motivate people and physical punishment is usually not an option.
Finally found the full version of this
Full version of this coming soon
Good
Those are gypsies m8
Full Picture
Are Russian women typically this ugly? They look like munters.
Does it really matter now?
Look at those fat feminists.

Literally not a russian. That is an Uzbek in Samarkand
Stalinist architecture doesn't look bad.
Wrong, it's the emir of Bukharia
OK that is an Uzbek in Bukhara...which is 280km from Samarkand.

Sad knowing Communism cast such a shadow over Russia and it is basically the first thing people think of when they think about Russia.
But Russia had a long European history before that, rivaling the the biggest of the European powers.
Filled with art, litterature and culture.
Now Russia is thought of as nothing but commie blocks, poverty, alcoholism and just dreary grayness.
Strange how less than a century of communism can destroy a thousand year of history.
