Farewell to the shoulder straps 2008 Ryzhenko Pavel Viktorovich Note Kornilovski Death Battalion patch
“Farewell to the shoulder straps”, 2008, by Ryzhenko depicting a deeply monarchist officer of the White Army (note the Kornilov Deaths Head patch on his sleeve) burying his Imperial Epaulettes. You see the White Army , while being anti-Bolshevik, was anything but pro-monarchist, and those who were kept the fact largely to themselves.
