Russian remote places through the eyes of American photographer

[Кирилл Сызранский]

American Bruce Gilden /Bruce Gilden lived 16 days among ordinary Russians in a small town, 70 km from Ekaterinburg. According to Gilden, this area is populated by ex-criminals, drug addicts and the "lost people". "Dark Medieval community" - this describes the American deep into Russia.

Bruce Gilden is the longest time spent in the company of a certain 32-year old Sergei, nicknamed "Hog" - small bandit, just released from prison. The second man, with whom frequent contact Gilden - a Basil, a former criminal, who was imprisoned for the murder of his stepfather.

Gilden wanted to photograph the natural life of these people, and so they got used to him. Photographer, wanting to gain the trust, bought them vodka, and chicken.

"They all live in the gloomy villages of decaying communities, dirty spaces. The basis of their lives - Vodka and violence "- then remembered Gilden.

Small bandit Sergey says that he's "not 100%a criminal - he no longer wants to prison, but because trying to do business - takes a toll on passing trucks, as well as the" roof "of Tajiks who transport drugs.

In this area, the number of women is twice more than men, and therefore to Sergei, and his friends who have gone through almost all areas - in great demand. Gilden said that here there is a so-called inbriding - inbreeding. Nevertheless, the photographer notes that a lot of respect these people - in this climate and the almost complete absence of material civilization will not survive another one.
