Chromogenic color print.It is the life of the vast majority of Soviet Jews that I wished to preserve in my photographs. These Jews are struggling to maintain their religious and cultural heritage in the Soviet Union, despite the difficulties and the threat of extinction. I realized my mission was to record the remnants Russian Jewish culture before it vanished. The more I traveled, the more I realized that I also wanted to photograph the people who are trying to retain Jewish culture. - Nodar Djindjihashvili -- source link
