Color photographs of Russia from 100 years ago

Just had to share.

Friends with photographic know-how will probably understand how the original camera worked, as well as the process of color restoration, better than I ever could, but I think I get the gist of it. The results are brain-warping. I cannot believe I am looking at images from 100 years ago. They look so... real. And I guess they were.
