Non-touristic Russia. From west to east

Alexander Sukharev - a photographer and explorer of abandoned places, a participant in the Kosmaj Project, a seeker of non-touristic gems and the author of unique tours in Russia. For over 15 years, he has been traveling the world, driven by the desire to reveal the beauty of the abandoned and forgotten to the world. In his photographs, abandoned cities, ancient estates and churches, deserted factories, abandoned planes and sunken ships appear in inseparable unity with untouched nature.
"Non-touristic Russia. From west to east" is a gallery book and a statement book. Each photograph here is not just an image, but a symbol of the aspiration from the past to the future, a reflection of the thoughts and feelings of the photographer Alexander Sukharev, his memories from trips to the lost corners of our vast homeland.
This is an invitation book to a journey through the waves of memory - from west to east, from Kaliningrad to Sakhalin. To the place where the real Russia is, in all its complexity and diversity. To the place where mysterious and secretive abandoned factories and plants, leaning churches, estates, and pioneer camps, of which there are many on the map of our country, tell their own story, shedding light on our common past.
