Sergey Bratkov: Glory Days: Works 1989-2008

"The bewildering paradoxes of life in post-Communist Russia--the tension between the alluring promises of freedom and the iron constraints of the market economy--are the foci of Sergey Bratkov''s oeuvre. . . . [The retrospective] Sergey Bratkov: Glory Days is accompanied by an elegant catalog, offering an overview of this oeuvre--a body of work with such a remarkable sense of urgency that much comparable contemporary photography seems pale and tepid in comparison."
