From the archive of the family of Rear Admiral Alexander Vladimirovich Razvozov (1879 - 1920).

Numerous names of naval officers are listed on the reverse side in pencil in Cyrillic letters; among them one can definitely identify the future Rear Admiral A.P. Kurosh in the rank of 1st Rank Captain  (sitting in the 2nd row in the center) and the future Rear Admiral of the Fleet A.V. Razvozov in the rank of lieutenant (sits 5th on the left in the second row). In 1904 A.P. Kurosh was senior officer of the cruiser Aurora, commander of the torpedo boat Zavetny. Second to the left of A.P. Kurosha is captain of the 2nd rank A.V. Razvozov, who in 1915 replaced Kurosh as chief of the 2nd mine division.
