Miron Zownir’s uncompromising photographic report in the streets of Moscow during the summer of 1995. In a Russia barely emerging from the break-up of the Soviet bloc, the streets of the Russian capital reveal a deep social and economic crisis. Images can be terrible, deeply raw. But they reveal to us both a historical reality and a human reality from which no country can escape in the event of major economic upheaval. There is no unhealthy voyeurism in these photographs. We are simply diving into a time that the Western world has forgotten or ignored. And where it is simply a question of human dignity.
