Buranovskiye Babushki were awesome in yesterday’s Grand Final of 2012 Eurovision in Baku. Now just imagine how awesome they are in their own little village called Buranovo in Russia’s region of Udmurtia.
Buranovo is, indeed, a small village. Its population is 658 people.
Last winter LiveJournal blogger uzoranet managed to visit Buranovskiye Babushki and confirmed that they are very active at their own native place. Cool.
“A behind the scenes look at my trip to Chukotka, Russia. I was traveling around Chukotka starting with Anadyr (capital of Chukotka) and into the very deep Tundra where nobody lives except small tribal groups of reindeer herders, staying and photographing them in their everyday life, and it was a life changing experience.” (c) Sasha Leahovcenco.
I do really like Valery Titievsky’s street photographs of Novosibirsk, Russia. It’s his home city and it’s where he lives and works. Valery is a pro photographer.
Thanks to him, we can follow the winter life of the Siberian city of Novosibirsk.
In a Siberian village near Omsk, Russia
This photo is from the set of photographs depicting one day of Tatiana’s life in a Siberian city of Omsk. She writes that last Saturday, Aug. 6, she and her daughter were left alone at home. They decided to attend the 22nd Siberian marathon and pay a visit to parents in a village 70 km off the city.
