Don't Call Me Vodka
'Don't call me Vodka' is an on-going project that depicts the real lives of people that live in the Russian Federation. Growing up in Russia, communist morality and ethics are still very present in our societies. People in Russia do not live they survive. People are afraid of saying their family names - the atmosphere of slavery and totalitarian power is still empowering. These 35mm film documentations are the dystopian reality of Russian retrospective. The assignment took place in the province in the town called Saratov, the aim and the initial proposal of the project was to photograph real people and their everyday struggles. Multiple interviews were conducted with different people coming from different social backgrounds.
