Russian beauties of the 19th and early 20th centuries


Various writers, public figures and just bloggers defend the idea that Russia has always been a dirty, uneducated and devoid of culture country, whose inhabitants eked out a miserable existence, and were afraid of the tsar all their lives. In fact, this is not the case. Most bloggers and writers simply do not know the real history, while the other minority knows, but deliberately wants to present the past of Russia exclusively in gloomy tones.


Fortunately, we still have chronicles and memories, as well as pictures from which we can understand that our ancestors lived quite well. Take a look at the luxurious outfits of Russian beauties, how many people today can afford something like that? It should be borne in mind that their outfits are made of natural fabrics, decorated beads and pearls, gold and silver embroidery, and of course all handmade.


Of course, these are not the most ordinary peasant women, but landowners, wealthy women, aristocracy. Just do not forget that not everyone in Europe dressed in luxurious dresses either ...


Therefore, these pictures serve as an excellent proof of our great past. Russian beauties dressed and led a life no worse than in Europe, on the contrary. Comparing the portraits of European girls and women with ours, you can make a discovery for yourself - ours are dressed richer and more luxurious!
