Dimitri Baltermants

Posted on March 16, 2017

In a career that spanned more than five decades, Dimitri Baltermants was the premier photographer in the Soviet Union. An official photographer to the Kremlin and the photo editor of the popular news magazine "Ogonyok", Baltermants visually documented the twentieth-century history of this great nation, recording all levels of Soviet society- from the working-class people to the highest political leaders-and showing as never before the Soviets as a truly "human" people.
