Simion Lvovich Drushkin, Head of Security in the Transcaspia Government [in carriage with bodyguard, probably in Ashkhabad]. Photographer: Teague-Jones, Reginald
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
'A Jewish lawyer of unknown antecedents, tireless and ruthless in the uncovering and arresting of subversive elements and Red agents. He made so many enemies that he was given a special mounted Turkmen escort and Indian sepoy bodyguard. Here he is seen driving in Askhabad with his wife and famous black briefcase in which he kept his list of suspects. During the first months of his activities , Drushkin had always dressed completely in black...but later, as the internal situation steadily deteriorated and became more dangerous, he discarded his all-black garb as being too distinctive, and he took to wearing drab-coloured garments which were more in keeping with the uniforms of his bodyguard and escort and made him a less distinctive target.'
