Other Russias Paperback – March 1, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
Other Russias is the brilliant first collection of graphic journalism by artist and activist Victoria Lomasko. A fixture at Moscow’s protests and political trials, Lomasko illuminates the inequality and injustice at the heart of contemporary Russian society and gives voice to Russia’s many voiceless citizens. Not content to remain in the capital, she travels the country, visiting schools in dying villages; interviewing sex workers in foundering industrial towns; teaching children at juvenile prisons to draw, all while drawing their stories. Her portraits allow readers to see these people as more than words on paper and to see them as she does: with dignity, compassion, and love. Other Russias is an urgent and poignant work by a major talent.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Powerful . . . Though Victoria Lomasko's figures are rendered in broad, black-and-white strokes, her depictions of God-fearing old ladies, young skinheads, and striking truckers never fall into the traps of parody, contempt, or stereotype. Her focus on the daily lives of regular people offers a respite from the international fixation on Vladimir Putin who is, after all, only one of a hundred and forty-four million Russians. --Sophie Pinkham, NewYorker.com
An album of images and impressions of ordinary, unconnected Russian citizens who have unexpectedly found themselves activists . . . Victoria Lomasko is the graphic artist equivalent of the great Svetlana Alexievich, the Nobel Prize winner whose work also records and vivifies the lives of the Invisible and the Angry. --Bob Blaisdell, Russian Life

- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019I'd buy from this seller again! Very satisfied --
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017Vivid, simple drawings and narrative about Russians who resist the ever-tightening rule of Putin, from truckers who strike over new fees that will drive them out of business to the punk band Pussy Riot's defiant concert in a church and subsequent trial and convictions. There are stories of prostitutes, prisoners and demonstrators who try to save parks from developers. They persist in the face of brutal and corrupt police and restrictive laws and bad weather. It's both painful and uplifting to read. No one wins, but they keep trying.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017To know and understand Russia—and the Russian people whose stories never make it to the news—read this book, and read all work by Victoria Lomasko. Her graphic reportage tells stories you wouldn't read anywhere else, stories of children in juvenile prisons, sex workers, slaves, truckers, migrants, retired single women, village teachers, people from LGBT community, political protesters, and more. Please buy this book and tell all your friends about it to support Victoria. Her next book is coming out soon. Spread the word.
