  • Catalogue Essay

    Baltermants, despite having made a few cadres of the Russian suffering, was caught admitting: “If I had to do it, God forbid, to photograph the war again, I would photograph it completely differently. I am wringing my arms when I think what I could have photographed and I didn’t!” (KomKniga, V. Stigneev, Vek Fotografii 1894-1994, Moscow, 2005, p. 161)
