We have already shown you the photos of tsarist Russia taken by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky. Color photos of that period are a unique heritage. But there was another classic photographer whose photos were not less precious. It’s Maxim Dmitriev. But as opposed to Prokudin-Gorsky he showed different Russia to us, which was not so perfect for being on postcards.
