这就是俄罗斯的真实面貌:亚历山大·彼得罗夫拍摄的照片

Winston Churchill once said that "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Experiencing Russia is like experiencing magical realism—to the observer, everything seems as real as real can be, and at the same time, something's a bit odd, out of place, or straight up bizarre. Russia holds so many contrasting, vivid lives in it that it's no wonder why actually seeing them is so mesmerizing. And as one famous Russian vodka commercial says, "Russia can't be understood with the mind."

温斯顿·丘吉尔曾经说过:“俄罗斯是一个包裹在一个谜里面的谜。”体验俄罗斯就像体验神奇的现实主义——对观察者来说，一切似乎都是那么真实，但同时，有些东西又有点奇怪，不合适，或者非常怪异。俄罗斯拥有如此多对比鲜明、生动的生活，所以亲眼目睹这些生活让人如此着迷也就不足为奇了。正如一个著名的俄罗斯伏特加广告所说，“人们无法用大脑来理解俄罗斯。”

Aleksandr Petrosyan, the invisible hero of today's story, is the chronicler of these colorful people. He lives in Sankt Peterburg (Peter, as the locals call it), Russia's second-biggest city, and has accumulated quite an impressive archive of the city's unique people and situations. The photographer likes to capture as many different people as possible in a single frame, creating something that could somewhat represent the diverse Russian experience.

亚历山大·彼得罗夫，今天故事的隐形英雄，是记录这些多姿多彩的人的编年史者。他住在俄罗斯第二大城市圣彼德堡(当地人称之为“彼得”)，对这座城市独特的人和环境积累了大量令人印象深刻的资料。摄影师喜欢在一个画面里尽可能多地捕捉不同的人，创造出某种程度上能代表俄罗斯多元体验的东西。
