Photo album review: Victor Klimov. The Soldiers of Victory

The photo album by Smolensky photographer Victor Klimov is dedicated to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). The book contains photographs taken during the festive commemorative events held in 1983-2015 in Roslavl, Desnogorsk and other cities of the Smolensk region. The album contains portraits, group photos, reports and staged shots with the veterans of the Great Patriotic War. The uniqueness of “The Soldiers of Victory” project lies in the sincere desire of the author to capture not the ceremonial image of a veteran, but the appearance of a real person with all his experiences, memories and wisdom accumulated over the years of a difficult life. Each photo of the album is a living touch to the history; it helps to feel the connection of times and the strength of the victorious people spirit.
