I get it, but I might get more out of it if I were Russian or had a greater connection to WW11. This is a great concept because it’s vitally important to remind the modern world what can happen if people are not aware of what their government is up to and will be forcing them to participate in. There is no need to be paranoid, but, educated.

Shorpy.com is a good place to look for nice high res photos to try this out with.
You don’t have to be Russian to appreciate the deep connection to history that many places have. Thank you Sergey, for doing the work on this.

That is fantastic…Technically it’d great too…That’s not easy taking photos from the exact same angle.

That is tremendous stuff! The historical relevance FAR outweighs any criticism from the p-nut gallery.

The concept of what the world was like…as compared to now. I love these photos knowing what was right were these people are standing now, where cars are parked and where its all been “cleaned” up.
Its amazing how things change but stay the same.

I love these pictures! First time I’m really excited about photographic art, or visual art what so ever!
But these photos are very cool!

You have an amazingly powerful series of photographs. I’d love to see a book with other locations too, such as Concentration Camps, US, England….
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing
