The Multifaceted Golden Ring

In the «Many-Faced Golden Ring» series, an expanded itinerary unfolds through the contrasts of eras, moods, and details: from Kalyazin’s flooded bell tower and giant satellite dish to the white-stone cathedrals of Suzdal, Vladimir, and Yuriev-Polsky; from the misty Volga piers of Uglich and Rybinsk to the quiet wooden footbridges and monastery courtyards. Here, ancient Rus' and Soviet heritage coexist—Myshkin’s museum postcards stand alongside Tarkovsky’s graffiti, and the magnificent night illuminations of Yaroslavl meet everyday moments: fishermen by the water, a carriage on the street, a stone labyrinth in the grass, letters from the past. The series illustrates how Russia’s diverse eras are woven together in one vibrant ring.
