SynopsisEven after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Russia remains a nation shrouded in mystery. The country's modern aesthetic includes vestiges of its past that combine and collide with its present, reflected in such unusual imagery as an ornate palace which now houses a hip-hop rehearsal studio, and the stained-glass windows of a church that immortalize the icons of the proletariat. Photographer Andrew Moore explores Russia's majestic beauty and paralyzing decay with striking honesty, often finding them in the same frame. "Russia: Beyond Utopia" is an intricate hybrid of modern Russia'sunresolved past and uncertain present, revealing a country on the cusp of a new era., Even after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Russia remains a nation shrouded in mystery.
