Sergei Shargunov’s new book is a photographic look at what he experienced. Footage of events captured through the eyes of our contemporary, who is concerned about everything that happens in Russia and around it. Pictures of Soviet childhood and upbringing in the family of a priest, youthful rebellion, ups and downs, trips to the war in Ossetia and revolutionary Kyrgyzstan, random and non-random meetings, the fates of close and distant people. This is the delight of recognition, the pain of empathy, and unexpected discoveries. Real literature.

"The cemetery is a photo album. Many faces, usually solemn and friendly. Hardly at the moment when the flash went off, people thought about where their pictures would go. And these smiles! Last name, years of life and a calm face that believes in immortality. There are flies buzzing around, plants, other faces who also do not know that they are masks behind which decay is rampant." Sergei Shargunov
