Does anybody know the context? I mean, why the fuck would you execute a villager? He doesn’t look like a soldier or a captive.
I doubt if there’s a need to start the Balkan Wars beefs and ethnic cleansings when Turkey suffered an earthquake, and everyone including Balkans ran to save as much as they can. These ‘but your ethnic cleansing’ olympics can wait a bit more, can’t they?
Why is he being executed? By who?
This picture does not seem to be an execution setting. In that time an execution would have been carried out by firing squad or hanging. Gallows are not in the picture, and it would not be smart to shoot at your own soldiers.
Not saying he wasn’t executed for whatever his captors found him guilty of, just saying this image does not give that (or enough) of a context. If I had to judge based on the picture and the fact he is praying, id says he was found guilty of something or is being placed in front of a military tribunal of sorts.
Prediction: Someone will mention a year between 14’th and 19’th century…
The photo is from a Bulgarian movie, the guy in the back with the moustache is an actor. However, those were indeed terrible times for the region
That is what invaders get i guess…

I have no idea what about the photo is but my family’s origin is albanian. During the Balkan Wars they did flee from Serbs to anatolia because of religious conflict i guess. They were no Turks but muslim. I have no knowledge much about that.
I dig his shirt, fucking awesome shirt. Shitty shoes tho.
Such a sad history the world has. You would think we all have learned from our passed and stop repeating it.
