Can we find a scholarly source that will help us to identify the shooters, and the dead, so that what we write is verifiable? Who took this photo?

For a scholarly piece on a different piece of media from the period, which sheds light on the ways in which understanding these works can be a challenge, this is helpful - http://www.hoover.org/publications/hoover-digest/article/113496

 * Looking through the links above, it is clear that this photograph is part of a series taken from within the Czechoslavak legion. In order for the executioners to be Bolsheviks, and the victims Czechs, the Bolsheviks would have needed to abduct the photographer, put on Czech uniforms, pose over the dead Czechs, then release the photographer back to Czech units. Obviously this photograph is what most sources say it is - Bolsheviks killed by the Czech legion. -Darouet (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * What executioners? The photograph depicts some corpses and uniformed men standing over it. The standing guys perfectly may be comrades of the dead rather than enemies. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 00:21, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
