The photographer, Sergey Larenkov, starts with pictures taken during Hitler’s blockade, revisits the locations, takes new shots, and conflates the scenes: In one, a man stares down at frozen bodies while modern pedestrians walk nearby. In another, soldiers carry anti-air-raid balloons down a bustling 21st-century street. The entire series is a stark, beautiful reminder of the past’s stubborn hold on present-day Russia.
