Audacious



Audacious , Bold, Daring... take your pick of the translations of the name of  the team pictured above.  Команда смелых , founded by high school students and the young workers of  the St. George engineering plant in Stavropol , Russia in 1910.
The men and boys pictured belonged to that generation that was decimated by the 1914-18 war and the Civil War in Russia that followed.
