1900-ish Photos
Our theme today is men from around the turn of the last century,
and we start with a young Georg Lurich in a rocky setting.
World Champion per the Russian text. Taken at a beach near St Petersburg where Lurich had lived at that time. Swept up in the Russian Revolution and Civil War, he fled from St Petersburg in 1918 and eventually settled in Armavir in the Northern Caucasus, then held by White Russian and Don Cossack forces. Brutal battles occurred off and in from 1918-1920 against Red and Taman Army forces. Lurich died from pneumonia after a bout of typhus from an epidemic in Jan 1920 when the Civil War was being fought in that region, and ended in a Red victory in March 1920. Lurich is buried at the German cemetery in Armavir. Rex in DC
He and his close friend, fellow Estonian wrestler Alexander Aberg, were buried in the same grave at Armavir. Despite some wishful thinking by modern gays, the recorded facts indicate are that they were NOT lovers.
