Soviet Ghosts

This collection showcases hauntingly beautiful photographs of abandoned sites across the former Soviet Union and its satellite states, including forgotten towns, factories, prisons, hospitals, and military complexes. The images capture the decay of once-thriving communities, offering a poetic glimpse into their post-apocalyptic state, while also highlighting the historical context behind their abandonment. Accompanied by essays that provide deeper analysis, the work explores the rise and fall of the Soviet Empire, its flawed ideologies, and the reasons behind these locations' decline—whether due to natural disasters, political upheaval, or the passage of time. The photographer’s journey into these remote, often dangerous areas uncovers a powerful narrative of forgotten history, creating a poignant and emotional connection to these lost places.
