pp. 216, “The 126 stunning photographs collected here capture many moods: the brash, glitzy whirl of a ballroom, where fresh-minted capitalists flaunt their success; and the gray despair of a street market, where the poor hawk meager possessions to buy a meal. On one page, a group of elderly babushkas clutch candles at the blessing of a well, once again openly celebrating their faith; on the next, the suffering face of a young radiation victim displays the heartbreaking price of nuclear might. Every image adds a new piece to the eternal puzzle called Russia, by turns greedy and generous, stoic and exuberant, suspicious and sympathetic.”
