This is a photograph of an outdoor exhibition panel in Kazan, Russia. The panel features text in Russian and Tatar, and two historical photographs related to Russian law enforcement. The left photograph shows three illustrations of Russian police uniforms from the pre-revolutionary period. These illustrations depict formal attire and are described as being from open sources. The right photograph, dated 1914, shows police officers with service dogs at an exhibition in St. Petersburg. This image is also stated to be from open sources. The text on the panel details the life and career of Arkady Frantsevich Koshko, a prominent figure in the Russian criminal investigation department. It highlights his early fascination with detective stories, his rise through the ranks from a patrolman in Riga to leading the Moscow detective police, and his innovative methods such as surveillance and wiretapping. The text also mentions that the Moscow police were recognized as the most effective in the world in 1913, earning Koshko the nickname "Russian Sherlock Holmes." The panel concludes by noting his return to Kazan to investigate the theft of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The Tatar text provides a similar summary of Koshko's career and achievements. The panel is mounted on a dark, possibly metal, structure. The background shows a cloudy blue sky and glimpses of the roof of a building, suggesting an outdoor location. The overall impression is of an informative historical display.
