Moscow's Winzavod Centre for Contemporary Art have released their annual list of photos that show the "Best of Russia 2011". 365 photos have been chosen to represent a year in Russian life with the only stipulation being that photographs must be taken during 2011. It offers a unique insight into Russian life - one that is not always pretty. I immediately looked at the artistic skill of the photographers before realising the tragedy behind a lot of the photos. It still amazes me that a country that was once so powerful could now be so poverty stricken. Looking through the photos, I became fascinated by their culture and the many different influences that it seems to portray. Even if you view the gallery purely for it's artistic value, be sure to check it out!
