Tale of the Soviet Monolith (27 photos)

Photographer Jason Eskenazi from the United States first visited Russia in 1991 on the eve of the August coup, he has since returned to the post-Soviet countries many times. The result of his work began several exhibitions and a book "Wonderland: A Tale of the Soviet Monolith", photos of Jason popular in the West. Jason calls the Soviet Union bleak utopian nightmare and says the tragedy was not ready for a new life, who do not see themselves and their place in the new world of the nations collapsed empire nostalgia for the communist past.
