Color photos Mountain Altai early 20th century.

I found a few photos of Gorny Altai. In these places, during the Civil War, fought against the Siberian Army - Red Guard, and then fought with the army of Kolchak - Red Siberian partisans. Also here there were partisan clashes with the local tribes. Later it fought against the Red - already - White partisans.

Excellent photos.

Seeing them in colour reminds you how bright clothing could be as well as giving you an idea of the landscape and characters who inhabited it!

Fantastic I was wondering what style of fencing Russians used in the far east. Looks like something like the Perry's do in plastic and can be deployed in large scale cheaply.

In Northern Russia, Siberia and the Far East, many forests - accordingly, often for constructions and facilities is used the tree.
Moreover, to shield outbuildings no aim to make "beautiful" fence. Usually limited to the primitive design that performs its function.
These fences are made from non-treated poles, chopped in a forest. Often fences make the without any nails.

For gaming terrain such fencing is easy to make of the usual twigs of sliced of the tree or bush. What they have a little rough - it's even good.

Here are some photos where you can see different designs of such fences (photo of Prokudin-Gorsky):

Interesting! The googled photo of the Mongolian woman in red depicts some chevaux-de-frise in the background!

Thankyou for sharing, very inspirational and something i need to crack on with in the new year with regards to terrain.

The cheveux de frise is something I've encountered in a number of photos of Mongolian monastery precincts. I believe it is a cheap and effective means of preventing livestock straying into cultivated/sacred parts within the often spacious circuit of the precinct walls.
