Photojournalism nominee

2018 Russia will welcome the whole world as a guest because of the football World Cup. This work presents Russian people at home, eating with the family. All together, they convey a picture of Russia and give an insight into the Russian soul behind the walls.
This series is about people, their identity, their environment, their culture, their society. At the same time it is an argument between the everyday life of the people, whose life stories nobody tells and the bombastic world spectacle.
