When people try to describe the Russian people, they very often resort to generalisations and clichés. The photos here are not much better, since they primarily are portraits of the elderly and street vendors selling fruits and vegetables in the marketplace. However, it is my intention, in the future, to include more photos in the series that will document the variety of people in the world’s largest country!
