A B&W format streetphoto from the Streets of the
Russian Revolution of 1991
shoot. Made on October 3,
1991 -- the one year anniversary of German and
European Reunification
and the day St. Petersburg was
officially renamed St. Petersburg
, discarding the
antiquated Leningrad. The USSR would disband
eight weeks later.

 
 



 

 
   



 

*Russian Revolutionaries of 1991
       Moscow, Russia

A B&W format streetphoto from the Streets of the
Russian Revolution of 1991
shoot. These two
told me they had stood on the tank with Boris
Yeltson when he defied Soviet authority and took back
Russia. They had been camped out in tents within
the Russian White House tank barricade perimeter since
then and vowed to stay put (broken sunglasses and all) until
the fall of the Soviet Union -- which officially occurred
six weeks later on New Years Day, 1992.
