Collective Red - part 2 1999

"Collective Red - part 2" (1999) by Arsen Savadov is a photographic work that explores the legacy of Soviet communism. The image features a group of individuals, some in traditional clothing and others in unconventional attire, holding red flags adorned with Soviet symbols. This juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary elements suggests a complex and multifaceted relationship with the past, particularly in the post-Soviet era. The photograph's composition and use of color create a powerful visual statement about the enduring influence of Soviet ideology and its ongoing impact on Russian society.
