Russian North

Anna Korob is a Russian documentary photographer. Abandoned churches, fading manors, dead villages - these are the main subjects of her reports. For many years, Anna has traveled across the country, covering kilometers to capture these monuments of the past,... forgotten by time and people. Her photographs are not just snapshots; they are powerful testimonies of former grandeur and beauty. They carry a sadness for the bygone eras, but at the same time provide hope that these objects will be preserved for future generations. In her book, Anna Korob invites the reader on a journey through the Russian North - a harsh and enchanting land where nature and history are intertwined into a single image. Here, among snow-covered forests and endless fields, unique architectural monuments rise, having preserved their pristine beauty. The publication will introduce you to interesting monuments of northern architecture: vibrant and original house paintings, manor houses that still bear traces of past luxury, and ensembles of "trio" churches with cube-shaped and tent-like architectures, towering above the ground like giants. Many of the architectural gems presented are in abandoned or preserved states, but this does not diminish their charm and significance. "Russian North" is not just a guidebook; it is a story told through the lens of a camera. Thanks to this narrative, the reader can immerse themselves in the world of Russian folk culture and history, and reflect on what we can do to preserve this heritage for future generations. The book will be of interest to travelers, artists, nature lovers, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Russia.
