Back to the USSR: When Russia Took a Wrong Turn - a new exhibition in Amsterdam announced

Join us on the 17 April for the opening of the exhibition Back to the USSR: When Russia Took a Wrong Turn, featuring a series of photographs taken in the 1990s and early 2000s by The Moscow Times reporters. The project seeks to revisit that period and reflect on how and why it led to the present moment.

«For this exhibition, we have not selected "The Moscow Times’ best photos,” but rather images that capture what everyday life looked like in Russia under Yeltsin and in the early years of Putin — as a reminder that democracy and freedom of expression are very fragile and must be cherished and protected.» - Alexander Gubsky, publisher of The Moscow Times
