the 15th image (reflection in a pond) is upside down, in case you are wondering
photoshoped?
But grass is also upside-down, so it’s ok.
harsh life and poverty of Russians never ends.
That means that you have to improve it, will that be ok?
And also what do you define as poverty?
Miss India, please kill yourself and do us and this website a favor you lifeless idiot
In Soviet Russia, picture photoshop you.
Very nice photos!
Wow. So beautiful.
Beautiful. This is why I visit this website. Thanks for sharing.
Phenomenal photos! This is the most fascinating of Russia!
Great pics!
Some of them are really extra ordinary.
The original pictures are quite nice from a content, perspective, and framing point of view, but the overprocessing with Photoshop on many (or most) of them makes them look unreal.
I am speechless…
idyllic. every one a postcard.
Envy is a sin, you know.
Several of the pictures have been Photoshopped too much. That’s a shame. The photos were good enough as they were.
ahuenno!!!!!!!!!!
Not photoshop, but HDR’d.
Wow, really beautiful.
Looks like another third world country to me.
BTW where is Borat?!?!
SAM you are an idiot, STFU useless douchebag!!
Zoro, you have to explain WHY he’s an idiot, so he can learn to be less stupid.
Sam, Borat is not real. He’s a character invented by comedian S. B. Cohen, and he’s not supposed to be from Russia, but Kazahkstan. Thanks for playing.
BTW, Mr. Cohen is from England, which is neither Russia nor Kazahkstan (they are each individual countries, believe it or not!).
My apologies to Kazakhs, as I misspelled your country’s name twice. Kazakhstan is the correction.
P.S. In case Sam fancies himself a troll (he has posted similar lame-duck comments on other threads), he should remember that trolling is an art, and requires subtlety, and in particular, the ability to cleverly incite others to fury while disguising the amount of effort involved, rather than simply sounding like a garden-variety dimwit who has never left his city limits.
tis is where i want to live when i get older
Me tooooo!i would love to move there…i just wonder,where do i get started!?so much betteer than this world of sin ‘western countrys’.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures of the Russian countryside. I really like each one of them! I am speechless… Gracias from Spain
So beautiful!
you betcha, eris. i wish i had taken every one.
> Several of the pictures have been Photoshopped too much. That’s a shame.
That’s a bullshit. Photoshop is just a tool, invented right for that kind of purpose, and there is no shame in using it. And all these «too much» and «less much» are just pointless air-shaking.
> The photos were good enough as they were.
It is YOUR point of view, but the author of these photos doesn’t share it, and this is HIS, author’s, respective RIGHT. If you don’t agree then make some photos the way YOU SEE and show it to us so we could decide whose work is better. Until then just shut up.
Of course it is an opinion, but if you start tampering with colors extensively, adding colors and altering or even removing objects from a photo you are fooling your viewers in my opinion. In photoshop you can literally make shit look like gold, but that’s not reality you’re showing. That’s a lie.
You a photoshop expert ? I am. You probably don’t even see the alterations.
And why the harsh language ?

But he isn’t a photo-reporter, he is a photo-ARTIST. The difference is, the reporter shows things as they are, without any change, and the artist — the way he SEES ‘em or WANTS ‘em to be. The Art isn’t a lie, it is a work of IMAGINATION.
> You a photoshop expert ?
Well, after 15 years of almost everyday work with that thing, I think I have a kind of experience.
> And why the harsh language ?
It is the word «shame» from your initial post that pissed me off a bit. I am sorry. Don’t take it too close.

It is presented as depicting reality. Nowhere it is mentioned this is ‘art’ or a work of imagination.
I think the photographer got carried away a bit and polished his photo’s a tad too much. The result is false nostalgia and postcard aesthetics. Making poverty look romantic.
huh? you can’t just look at nice pictures without bitching about something?
how much did it cost you to go to this site?
oh yes - nothing?
well, thanks for your poisonous comments, in return!
Can anyone tell me what those are in #22, they look like mounds of hay with sticks on top, is this a pic from the Shire? Very beautiful scenes, a far cry from may day parades in Moscow!
Hay? — Yes.
Shire? — No.
Great pictures!
I agree. They then became kitschy postcards and lost the natural look.
A última fotografia é muito bela, parabéns ao fotografo russo por sua sensibilidade e simplicidade.
Thank you!
Лепотаааааааааааааааааа! Одно слово - красотищщща!

Just beautiful, thanks so much for the web site, really breathtaking.
These works are as “over-processed” as anything by Arbus or Adams. Their media was film and they used all sorts of optical tricks and processing tricks as well as dodge/burn techniques. These modern Russians employ digital HDR and Photoshop tools. So? The subjects of the photos are indeed real. The tools are used to embellish and delineate the subject in order to re-frame the context and invoke an emotional reaction in the viewer. It’s the SAME THING. Try reading a book on photography rather than spouting off. It makes you look ignorant and stupid.
Or…?
Clearly you are not an artist.
HDR…? so what? Most of them are done with good taste, perhaps the “cat on the well”-picture is overdone.
Great series.
Good taste my ass.
This is so sugary it makes the email pop o’ me teeth. And I like cats. Pure kitsch. I bet the people on those pictures wouldn’t even recognize their own backyard on these pics.
you’re right!
i kinda liked some of the photos, as I scrolled through over the course of 45 seconds.
but thanks to you, I realize these are horrible photos and I should never had enjoyed them!!!
thank you so much!
Now that was funny!
sooo beautiful photos! I whis i could go there…
pic #2 is serious cat from 4chan
I dont get it.. what is so extraordinaryly beautifull about those pics. They´re nice okay, but “extraordinary” and “breathtaking” duno, just bunch of villagers living theyr lives, it is still pretty common.
What we have here is a very talented photographer (photoshop or not), so thanks. I’m guessing one that’s been inspired by the 19th century “Wanderer” painters (particularly Repin). Most effects seen here have been film recorded long before any such photoshop program was constructed (I lived in Northern Minnesota and have seen such things/lighting effects personally). Some of you must not get out much. #16: how often do you see a peasant-tamed Moose calf? #17: Russki village churches look just like that (though the bastards destroyed 10,000 churches). #22: a glorious example of Roccoco Slavic architecture (though the pigeon is perhaps a gag).
very nice pictures……………
That the old man in picture http://englishrussia.com/images/countryside_summer/30.jpg had been visiting finland…Plastic bag on a balcony says “Hyvää suomesta”, which means: “Good stuff from Finland”. He is also crafting some woodwork that is very famous around the Lapland.
Still better than Detroit.
mesmerizing!!
straight out of fairytales. like the ones I used to read in the magazine “misha” long time back.
Unfortunately, your country is getting more and more violent and uncivilized everyday. A non-white cannot enjoy the beauty of your country without worrying about his life.
I Really like this. i lived in the Russian country side for a wile really great
Russian village is the place where you want to get back again and again and again, even if you were born in a big city, you will want to visit a village several times a year for a few days.
