Sergey Maximishin came to photography "under pressure" from the Red Army when he was given the job of taking photographs during his military service. His shots show great harshness together with flawless realism. As he says, Russia is one of the least photographed countries in the world; this is because of the huge distances and because so many regions are so difficult to reach. It is a country of extremes, both up and down. There is virtuosity and stupidity, poverty and wealth, ignominy and honor, good and evil, and there are no limits to the way they are expressed.
Sergey opens our eyes, showing us daily life in Russia behind the scenes and triggering a positive response to this fascinating country.
