Circassion gentleman

I didn't ask his name, but he was standing proudly in Senate Square in Helsinki, to raise awareness of the genocide of over 1 million of his compatriots on this day in 1864, during the final stages of the Russo-Circassion war.

Hi Judith , nice to see you doing a bit of street / stranger photography. 1 million in 1 day , why does the world not know of this ?

Great portrait. I was not aware of this awful genocide either! It’s just sickening.
