This photograph shows a team of three horses hauling a sled, a sight that would have been common across Russia when snow made wheeled carts impractical. The catalog places it between 1880 and 1910, when the region was part of the Russian Empire, so the "Soviet Union" label in the subject headings is a later cataloging term rather than a description of the period. Three-horse teams were long associated with Russian travel and freight, and the picture offers a useful glimpse of winter transport before motor vehicles became widespread.
