We began a photographic journey around Russia the other day which focused on the May 9th victory celebrations. Today we’d like to present you with some out of the ordinary, yet everyday photographs with permission from Valeri Akopov (Валерий Акопов).

My goal here is to share with you, the same journey me and some compatriots are making, across the face of Russia.
