Summary: Seek and you shell find...
Comment: This book will tell you more about the author than about his subject...
As someone who lived in the Soviet Union for 22 years, and someone who still visits Russia at least 3 times a year, I have one word for the this book - "chernucha" (Russian word for something that is deliberately made to be depressing by concentrating on the negative). The author has spent all this time in Russia, and this is all he found worthy of photographing?!?! I guess some people can only find inspiration in human depravity.
If you like photography, you will enjoy it, because the pictures are masterful. But if you are looking for a balanced photojournalistic account, stay far away.

Summary: An amazingly accurate picture of Russia today.
Comment: Everyone has seen the Russia of fairytales in storied picture books, but Luc Delahaye seems to be the first photographer to cut through the glossy exterior of a time long gone by to show the Russia of today. I've spent nearly 5 years in this country and get chills when looking through this book as it reminds me of so many images I saw first-hand here. My own journals from my time here don't even come close to Luc Delahaye's depiction of what more than 70 years of a system gone wrong can do to a society.

Summary: Small and Intimate Touch - Great Photo Diary
Comment: This is a collection of documentary photographs of Russia, which was taken by Magnum photographer Luc Delahaye, during 1998-1999. The warm and contrast colour make you feel like unreal on the scenario. It provides you with an insight into the life and living environment of ordinary people in the places. Some photos somehow look like a paintings. It is not a 'great' (in size) photographic book, but the 'diary' like size makes you get closer and have intimate touch with the subject and photographer's eye.
Nice and intimate touch ...
