DREAMERS VS. ASTRONAUTS

Evgeny Feldman

You have seen Yevgeny Feldman's photographs, even if you don't know who took them. The panorama of the rally on Bolotnaya Square, Alexei Navalny with his instant noodles on his way to the Central Election Commission, clashes with Berkut on Maidan, the “parade of prisoners” in Donetsk, the human chain in Minsk — Feldman's photos capture an entire era, and no one else has seen so many of its key events from such close quarters.

In just a few years, a teenager who used to go to punk concerts with his video camera became Russia's most famous documentary filmmaker — while the country descended into brutal repression and full-scale war. In order to honestly show the main stages of this journey, Feldman risked his life many times and broke the rules. Therefore, the book in which he talks about his work reads both as a tragedy and an adventure novel.
