Popis:	While the presentation and discussion of photography has made some progress since the beginning of perestroika in 1987, it continues to be the most neglected area in Russia's visual culture.1 Unlike other aspects of contemporary art, which for a number of years have been subjected to interpretive practices, photography has lain outside the internal issues of the aesthetic debate in the Soviet Union. This circumstance contributed one more contrast between the paths taken by Western and Soviet cultures in the second part of the twentieth century. In the West photography constituted the prime example in the formation of postmodernist discourse and was firmly positioned in the annals of contemporary culture. In the Soviet Union unofficial photographic practices were virtually nonexistent and photography as a medium received no place in the records of pre-perestroika cultural events.
