United Russia
03/08/2011United Russia is Putin’s party. That said, I think this picture says it all, right there. The bottom sign says “United Russia in Altay“. The top one, “Psychiatric Hospital Nº1”. ‘Nuff said.
The bottom of the internet.

The unsettling story of the photocopy in Russia
02/03/2011This is a new and experimental format of telling my Russia stories. It’s new and experimental, all edgy and avant-garde.

Paul dice: yes! 🙂 for a while, though travelling for work the […]
ГУМ

Link Fueron tomadas con una extrañísima técnica ya olvidada: hacer tres fotos de lo mismo, en rápida sucesión, una con un filtro verde, otra rojo, y otra amarillo. Y superponerlas. They were […]
The sounds of footsteps that weren’t there..
28/07/2010Today I was thinking about several people. I guess the two essential characters here are Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva, the most well-known and better Russian female poets of the 20th century. You see, for someone who doesn’t read a lot of poetry, those two have had quite an influence in my life. Let’s start […]
