Wonderland: A Fairy Tale of the Soviet Monolith

Jason Eskenazi (1960)

Synopsis

"Wonderland" is a photographic exploration of the Soviet Union, examining the contrast between its utopian ideals and the underlying reality. Through a collection of images, the book captures the illusion many held about the USSR, a place that seemed like a fairy tale but concealed the struggles of everyday life. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, this illusion crumbled, revealing both hardship and resilience. The book reflects on the lessons of self-reliance and the enduring hope that persists beyond political upheaval, offering a visual narrative of life before and after the Soviet collapse.
