The Spirit of Post-Apocalyptic Russia Through the Incredible Atmospheric Photographs of Alexander Sukharev

Russian photographer and urban explorer Alexander Sukharev likes to take pictures not only with his camera, but also mostly from the air with his drone: abandoned churches and military bases, monuments of socialist realism, crumbling houses in the lush blossom of the apple trees surrounding them, showing all the beauty and charm of the combination of death and life.

Apocalyptic philosophy is felt in almost all of Alexander’s works, and there is always time to reflect on the fact that human creations are often more beautiful than nature, but for the same reason they are incommensurable with a healthy existence on Earth.

I highly recommend everyone to follow him on Instagram.
