Russia through the train window

9 June 2014—28 June 2014

The exhibition «Russia through the Train Window» is a joint project by JSC Russian Railways and the Russian photographer Anton Lange. The aim is to show modern-day Russia through the camera lens of a photographer traveling by rail across this vast country. Lange’s pictures create a marvelously vibrant impression of Russia and underscore the uniqueness of its various regions, the grandeur of its territorial expanses.

«Russia through the Train Window» is part of a series of one-man photo exhibitions united around a common theme and logically continuing each other: 21st century Russia, different aspects of the country and society, a new view of its geographical particularities, its cultural and historical legacy and the life of ordinary Russians. No project of this kind in the history of Russian photography has ever covered such a vast territory: from Russia’s southernmost point to the Arctic Circle.

Lange’s pictures were taken between November 2006 and December 2009 as he journeyed by train around Russia’s most remarkable regions: the Kolskiy Peninsula and the northwest European part of Russia, central regions, the famous Golden Ring, the Volga, the Black Sea coast and the North Caucasus, the Urals, Siberia, districts along the Baikal-Amur main line (BAM) and the main Transsiberian railway, Lake Baikal, the Russian Far East, Sakhalin Island…
