Retracing Russia

Когда жизнь была другой

Also known as When Life Was Different

Once upon a time, photographer Yevgeny Burak was a photojournalist, published in large, "central" publications. And although most of his works were not published, he was a photo chronicler of the Smolensk region. Now all this is in the past, in the one that remained in the USSR. Now he is just a photographer. A photographer who decided to go back in time, to take a trip around his native region in search of the heroes of his old photographs of thirty or forty years ago. How are they now?
