The Unknown Golden Ring of Russia

The first historical monument that struck the author's imagination was the estate of Astafyev. Since then, documentary photographer Anna Korob has photographed more than 1500 abandoned monuments of Russian architecture, and according to her, there are still just as many... left. The book will be of interest to all admirers of domestic history and culture, as well as to tourists seeking unusual routes for their travels across Russia. «Russia's architectural heritage is gradually disappearing: estates are crumbling before our eyes, wooden houses are burning, ancient churches are turning into ruins. It is impossible to save all of this alone, but it is possible to draw attention to the problem. Photographer Anna Korob is doing precisely this.» – AD Magazine Russia
