Russia is a huge country full of contrasts and contradictions. Big cities, endless forests, steppes, swamps and snowfields deafen, intrigue and fascinate. In this film, viewers will see Russia from an unusual side - through the lenses of modern Russian photographers: Igor Mukhin, Elena Anosova, Danila Tkachenko, Alexander Gronsky, Valery Nistratov and many others who worked in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the Urals and the Far East, the Far North and Chechnya.

The mise en scène of democratic life becomes a theater…
