too many Photoshop! But quite kawaii
duuuuuuude
not cool
Kawaii jesus Christ,
photoshop? wtf. go die now. horribly. slit your throat.
shut the fuck up. I don’t mean that we see things that were not in real life, ’cause they were - but images were retouched to darker the whole expression.
i do think its photoshopped too because not even with the latest slr u can do some of the colors he did. or mebbe he’s just a great one.. but well i can see some of the subjects “modeling”
SHIT !
Very moving photos.
Russians look like a hearty and proud people.
Photoshop or not, great pictures.
If you think wide enough, retouching photos is no different from painting on blank canvas. I consider these pictures as art, and art is never “true”. No one knows what Mona Lisa really looked like. And most of the potraits here has been taken in the same studio, by the same table and bringing a person in studio and placing him/her as photographer wants is already distorting the true nature of the object.
But as I said, I think these are great photos with stories in them. Well, actually them stories are in the spectators head - Imagination provoking, I’d say.
Btw, I’ve seen lot of characters and interiors like these in Karelia, but also in some backwood corner of France.
That makes sense, I agree with that. Cool, looking at them like that makes it better.
Russian People Types…
Gypsies, Jews, Uzbeks, etc… and very few Russians.
just wonderering, which one of these people you identified as a Jew?
My kneejerk reaction was to assume that the guy in #5 was supposed to be a Jew.
Naah, Sarah.
There lives people of all colours and skull shapes in Russia. If only one rainbow-coloured dude would live in finland, as a national resident, I’d still call him a finn.
Or is russian people type something else than people living in russia?
Sure there are other types. If an African comes to Russia, and even if he gets citizenship, he’s still not a Russian.
A Russian is someone with Aryan features, light skin and Slavic ancestry, the people that settled around Kiev and Moscow regions a millenium ago.
In most contexts Russian is interpreted as ancestry, where as American is interpreted as citizenship.
I couldnt have said it better myself. Russians are viking ancestry. Blond hair, blue eyes originally, similar to swedes.
are you sure?
Positive.
Look it up and prove me wrong if you can. I’m always open to new theories.
Original slavs are viking….original vikings came from northern regions to settle the moscow and st pete areas (western russia, eastern europe). Vikings have aryan features. Over time people mixed and settled in different areas and created a new “race”… the Russians. Most pure blooded russians still have blond hair blue eyes as children (not infants) and they may darken as they get older.
“pure blooded russians”? The assertion is sickening…especially when you consider that you’ve made it so absurd already in your previous statements. First off, the idea of “race” was invented by darwinian classificationists, and has has long since been twisted into something evil at times, idiotic at others, but has no real scientific value. Regardless, populations mixing and settling in different areas actually _diminishes_ racial features, it doesn’t create a new race. Beyond that, while it’s certainly true that there was a tremendous amount of trade conducted between the Baltic and Black Seas by Vikings, there is no credible evidence to indicate that they ever comprised a sizable proportion of the actual population of the region at any time.
On a somewhat related subject, the idea that blond hair and blue eyes is an “Aryan” feature, is an invention of Hitler’s and Göbbels’. The Iranians, from whom the word “Aryan” is taken, would be surprised to learn that Aryans are so-defined by people pretending (poorly) to know anything about anthropology.
wow, way to wank. Who the fuck cares, tl;dr.
Well, there is a subtlety of Russian that English lacks–there are 2 types of Russian. The first, “rossiyskiy,” is someone who is Russian in the sense of citizenship. The second, “russkiy,” is someone who is ethnically Russian; that is to say, Slavic. So, you can be a Russian in one sense and not in the other, as was the case in the USSR, where “nationality” depended on ethnicity. If your family was Chinese but had become citizens of the USSR, you’d still have been listed as nationally Chinese. Not exactly Marx’s prejudice-free utopia.
Never seen a russian person looking like a scandinavian… Where are they?
Right here. I am belorussian… up to about 8 years old I had blond hair and blue eyes. When you think of a slavic woman… at least me… I think of a blond hair, big tits, hourglass shape and a little thick. Same as you see the old pictures of scandanavian women dressed in traditional clothing. Russians are not pure viking anymore like the scandanavians, thats where the differences come in. But the original Russians (the Rus) were aryan.
“Big tits” uhmmm just the opposite…
i think thats bullshit, personally.
and technically Aryans spread out over a period of time, so saying that someone is considered Russian if they have Aryan features is not same as saying they are of Slavc origin, have slavic features, ect.
Are canadians not considered french because they moved out of france? They’re still french to me.
Are puerto-rican’s not spanish because they moved out of spain? They’re still latinos to me.
dont African-Americans still look (and act) like africans?
My point is, even if you move you are still the same people. you may slightly change your race through breeding, but ancestry is still visible in the new “race”.
By the way, I’m not racist, I’m just interested in Anthropology.
They are “latinos” (puagh!) they are Hispanoamericans or Iberoamericans… please, read or learn something.
Spasibo!
Yes! An Aryan brotherhood is raising in the form na(t)shi-jugends.
Here in south-eastern Finland we have lot of tourists from Russia. I don’t want to flame any stereotypes here, but we can easily spot them out in supermarket. Not by the skin/hair colour or looks of the faces but clothing, makeup and such outward factors. Just like one can tell the finnish tourists crawling in Tallinn or Vyborg.
I can define finnish tourists! They are always drunk in Russia, cos’ in Russia vodka costs 7 times less than in Finland!
I said crawling…
That bs, an African can be a Russian easy. Russian is not a race but a way of life and seeing things, ppl like u need to get a life. Real Russians are kind and compassionate ppl. Since when did this Aryan shit came in??? You know how many died fighting the..khm..Aryans???!!!!How much suffering it gave us???? When I see my ppl go into this I know I’m losing my ppl..they’re lost very lost…
lol,the old communist in the last pic, wearing a addidas hat
LOL! Yeah!
communism will return, but with a more humane nature.
capitalism rewards selfishness and greed, and calls it “equality.”
capitalism is like a tumor, it has to keep growing or it will die. “unlimited growth” means the cutting down of entire forests, the over-fishing of the ocean, and polluting the air, all in the name or “profit.”
sustainability and equilibrium are the economic traits of TRUE communism, not the horrid dictatorships of the Soviet Bloc. throw away the red flags, red stars, hammers and sickles; start anew with none of the old soviet baggage.
We don’t really need Communism then, we need a socialist government. One with good free health care and College!
And who’s going to lead this Government of ours?
Is Russian village life this terrible? Hlaf of the pictures involved men and women smoking.
Anyway, ~70% of village-living Russians are smoking, AFAIK.
Isn’t that Robert de Niro on photo nr. 5?
Merci pour ces remarquables portraits.
70 ans de communistes on détruit les corps mais pas l’âme du peuple russe.
Ces clichés le traduisent admirablement bien.
Désolé, mais le Looser que je suis ne cause que le français.
Amitiés à ces braves gens qui posent pour vous.

“Plus nul que moi cela existe, j’en suis plus que sur”
Yes it could be true that few Russians are Aryans but not all
slavs have rounded skulls i feel germans are definatly Aryans with their long skull structure and facial features
purest of the pure Aryans are found in remote regions of Iran, Afghanistan and Ladak in India ive seen these people n they look nordic blonde blue eyed
i myself am a persian n no one can tell me apart from a “white ” person im blonde n light blue eyed n 6.4 “tall lol da best type of Aryan u can get n hey im a zorastrian da original Aryan faith
Pity folks can’t look at a bunch of photos without getting all political and shit, or whining “Photoshop!” It’s good work. Anyway, how many photographers don’t use a little “darkroom” magic now and then?
I think it’s funny my secret anti-spam word was “kgb”.
Most of your comments are wrong, first of all, the pictures are great and are really artistic, secondly(and is not relevant)Russian people are Slavic, and are not Aryan. According to the National Socialism,(I do not agree with this) Russians were (untermenschen)so to all those pseudo racists READ AND LEARN FIRST.
Damn, the last guy is kinda spooky
Very impressing Photographs, I especially like the Lighting. Paintings by a Camera, some famous Citations – really great, Mr. Pavel Bezrukov!
What is up with the Aryan bs discussions?
No.5 could be a no. of things, if you think he’s Jewish you’re probably looking for it…Gee, maybe because he looks like Jesus?
When were these taken, just recently?
You bastards! you have no clue who an aryan is? Aryans the ones who learnt vedas and only Indians are Aryans. Now you fags must be killed for this aryan propaganda shit.
When most of us refer to Aryans, we refer to blond hair, blue eyes, high cheek bones, Germanic nose, eyes in the front of the skull and so on. I.e Hitlers identification of Aryan. The word is not the issue in debate its the features, so calm down.
BTW people, do not generalize Russians too much. There are still many Aryans of us in the Russia Federation. Even in Siberia there are Russians that you would not be able to distinguish from an Aryan German. Though it is true that it is getting fewer, mostly because of immigrants (who pop babies out like it’s going out of fashion) that come from the Southern former Soviet countries while the Aryans in Russia have a higher Mortality than Natality rate.
Hi Folks,
Don’t be so gullible.
The photos look impressive, indeed, although many persons shown here above are not Russians at all. This series of dirty russophobic propaganda photos is made to expose to the Western ‘civilized’ world how much savage, brutal and backward the Russians are. It reminds me very much of the Nazi SS magazine called ‘Der Untermensch’. The poor German Wehrmacht soldiers, who were badly indoctrinated by Dr Joseph Goebbels propaganda, came to realize it too late - only when at Stalingrad - that they had been duped to death by their Nazi leaders. The Russians appeared to be NOT such pity creatures as the German soldiers expected. We do always prove our superiority over enemies by deeds, not by words (nor by such staged photos like these above).
We Russians do clearly understand that such deliberate demonization of our country (as these photos series) is nothing else but a preparatory stage before an assault. Well, folks, remember that we are always ready to make mincemeat of any aggressor.
Come and see the real Russians:

Photos suck just because author is a lier!
there’s no one bottle or even a glass of vodka on them!
Hmmm well none of the subjects look spectacularly happy. But the photos as portraits are really intense and otherworldly and therefore pretty interesting.
I like from the photos I’ve seen of Russian people that you seem not to be at all ashamed to show how you feel by the expressions on your faces. I’m a bit like that too, I guess that’s why relate to it. Where I come from, nobody ever really expresses on their face what they’re thinking or feeling. I just typed this entire comment into the antispam box. (duh).
Congratulations to the photographer, whether they be propaganda or not, they remain excellent portraits of possibly desperate people. Are these people desperate? I have a lot to learn about Russia and Russians. I love this site too by the way.
I like these photos very much.
Those who criticize should just look at them with their eyes and emotions and switch off their cerebrality.
There was only one pretty, young girl in this series. Doesn’t the webmaster understand why we come here? It’s to look at pretty, young girls we are going to buy and marry.
Ben,
Your comment is retarded. That makes you look like a complete douchebag, which you probably are.
The most of the photoes look pretty well, and are very well done. Some of them seem even old.
Finally someone who can write a good blog ! . This is the kind of information that is useful to those want to increase their SERP’s. I loved your post and will be telling others about it. Subscribing to your RSS feed now. Thanks

Very good photography!
Contrary to some notions, well explored articles still fetch in reviewers like me. You showed clear understanding of the topic matter and my opinions are now complete after reading your post. Please sustain up the sound work and i will subscribe to your rss feed to be informed of any emerging postings.
It’s amazing how far you have come with your dream. I love reading about all the success and accomplishments you have achieved. You’re truly an inspiration.And the same as christian louboutin, it also a good style for you and I believe you will love it .
Aargh who some idiot can think that these are Photoshopped :O These are really really beautiful photographs made by a real artist. I doubt that pictures are taken with DSLR and I believe that photographer has developed the pictures by himself. Photoshop cannot produce this kind of colours and grain clearly indicates usage of a film.
Truly beautiful work and beautiful colors. One of the best things in English-Russia is all this beautiful photographs about the country which I had to leave so many years ago.
I love the Lenin portraits on the walls.
These pictures really take you to fascinating places.
