Heidi Hollinger, in a photographic tourdeforce, has captured the spirit of the Russian people as they adjust to their new freedoms. Her sympathetic portraits reveal how some 'emerging' Russians relish their new opportunities while others, rooted in the past, struggle to survive in their changing world. The wideranging collection in this sumptuous volume includes images of workers, entertainers, artists, military officers, religious leaders, cosmonauts, Stalin's greatgrandson, and Lenin's niece, among others. Accompanying the portraits is a fascinating text by Jonathan Sanders, who provides insight about the people of modern Russia and Hollinger's importance in documenting them during this intriguing, troubled era.For nearly a decade, Hollinger has lived in Russia, at first as a visitor and gradually as an insider, gaining access to such highprofile politicians as Mikhail Gorbachev and Vladimir Putin, as well as other topechelon personalities. At the same time she explored Moscow's lower depths: mounted on inline skates and armed with mace, she invited typical Russians to her studio to pose for a portrait. Her 'working folk' images are in the tradition of preRevolutionary masters, who also wandered through the streets in search of representative faces to photograph.
