Link to the past
Dear friends, if you're interested in travel into the past, I will try to help you. But be warned, the history often hides a very scary pages, and return to the present is much more pleasant than to travel into the past.
Most of my work is devoted to the period of World War II. The most powerful impression on me personally produces a series of photos about
the siege of Leningrad, this is my hometown. In addition, here you will find the
defense of Moscow, the liberation of
Prague and
Vienna, the
storming of Berlin, some pages from the life of
Paris.
D-day collages Some pages of my journal will bring you to
the streets of the capital of the Russian Empire, St.Petersburg.
My new works:
soviet-finnish war and
Vyborg Kiev Odessa SevastopolWherever I go, I'm trying to penetrate the layers of time. It does not always do well, but I try.
Many thanks for the support staff of the State Museum of History of St. Petersburg, as well as staff of the Russian State Documentary Film & Photo Archive, Krasnogorsk.
And of course, fond memories and endless gratitude to the photographers and war correspondents that brought us images of a bygone era.
Happy journey into the past.
Yours,
Sergey Larenkov.
