Such a Diverse Country. Author's Photo Project by Alexander Mazurov about Russia
«Such a Diverse Country» — is a unique photo project by Alexander Mazurov, gathered as a result of travels through various corners of the largest country in the world, where behind every landscape stands a living person.
The author traveled through...
ten regions — from Kamchatka to Chukotka, from Yamal to Dagestan — to see how in the diversity of cultures, landscapes, and characters arises the image of modern Russia.
• Why are there more verbs than nouns in the languages of nomadic peoples?
• How does a volcano influence a person's character?
• And what does an icon painter feel in a thousand-year-old temple?
This book — ten journeys across such different regions of the country: from the shores of Kamchatka to the mountains of Dagestan, from the distant Chukotka to the mysterious Kuril Islands. It is not a guidebook or a historical work — it is a living, honest journey towards people. The author talks to reindeer herders in Yamal, looks into the eyes of Dagestani shepherds, learns the basics of icon painting in Veliky Novgorod, and meets sunrises on the Yenisei. Here are not only rare routes, but also voices. Each region has its own face. Each hero has their own story.
