It is the students, of course, that normally wore school uniforms. In a few countries the teachers also wore uniforms. We have few details, but one 1914 Russian portrait suggests that the teachers in Tsarist Russia also wore school uniforms. We are not sure when this practice began. Presumably it continued until the Russian Revolution in 1917. After the Revolution, I'm not sure how teachers dressed.
The image shown here is of a teacher in St. Petersburg. It was taken in the E. Semenenko studio. Inscription on the back reads, "To kind and diligent student Ann Petrovski, from teacher N. Makien, St. Petersburg, February 19, 1914."
