Столкновениеэпох / At the edge of centuries

By Roman Yarovitcin

Why, you may be asking, are all of the photographs in this album black and white? Because color film was still exotic for most Russian photographers in the nineties. It appeared in soviet shops right after Perestroika began, but it was very expensive. All of these photographs were taken with Russian b&w film A-2 - a favourite of photojournalists.The author - Roman Yarovitsin - has been working as a multi-newspaper photographer for 20 years. As it so happened, the decade he made pictures for the "Nizhny Novgorod Worker" newspaper turned out to be the most interesting time in the history of "Russia''s purse.» This nickname was given to Nizhny Novgorod because its fair was the biggest goods exchange due to its being built on the confluence of two great rivers.Gorbachev''s Perestroika called Nizhny Novgorod "the capital of reforms", as the youngest and most high-flying governor, Boris Nemtsov, worked there. Due to his efforts, the city shot out of anonymity after half a century of secrecy. This book mirrors the city''s renaissance by common examples of life in Nizhny Novgorod.????? ????? - ????? ???????? - ????? ???????? ??? ???????? ?????????? ? ????????? ???????. ??? ??????????, ??? ???????????, ??????? ?? ?????????? ? ?????? «????????????? ???????», ???????? ?? ???? ?? ????? ?????????? ?????????? ???????? ??????? ??????? ?????????, ????????????? ?? ????????? 1917 ???? «???????? ??????». ??? ??? ????? ??????? ??-?? ????????????? ???????, ??????? ???? ?? ????, ?????????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????? ?? ??????? ???? ?????????? ???.?? ??????? ??????????? ???? ????? ???????? «??????? ??????», ?????? ??? ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ??????????? ?????????? ????? ??????. ?????? ????????? ??? ??????? ?????? ???????? «????????» ?? ??????? ????? ????? ???????? ?????????? ? ???????????. ???? ?????? ??????????? ? ??????? ? ???????.? 2011 ???? ????? ????????? ????????? ?????? ??????? ?????????..
