Russian Season
Photography by Ekaterina Vasilyeva
Russian winter—a great ancient myth recorded in Russian folk tales and poetry;
the cult that lives in the hearts of Russian people…
Anyone who lives in Russia has to love the winter, at least subconsciously.
Winter decorates our country as perhaps no other…
Under the snow disappear countless tons of debris and
road wells, bad smells, and bad moods…
‘Unwashed Russia’ can become a kind of fairytale world…
Russia is usually associated with endless white space,
which dwells between natural phenomena and metaphysical whiteness…
This is a country where political, spiritual, and cultural life
are described in climatic terms such as cooling, freezing, and thawing.
