Empty streets, vintage cars, carefree kids, Labor Day parades and people doing sports outside. That’s Moscow through the eyes of the iconic Soviet photographer Emmanuil Yevzerikhin.
Emmanuil Yevzerikhin (1911-1984) worked as correspondent for the main Soviet news agency, TASS for many years. His masterful portrayal of Soviet life through a unique photographic method elevated him to iconic status in his lifetime. These are just some of the classical works by the photojournalist.
