 Russian Photography Collection
The Russian Photography Collection is comprised of approximately 7,000 gelatin-silver photographs by the leading photographers and photojournalists working in Soviet Russia between the two World Wars.
The collection was assembled as the Soviet Union tore itself apart leaving a tattered social fabric behind. Organized as a history of 20th century photography of the Soviet Union the collection focuses on the following categories: Constructivism/Avant-Garde, Propaganda, Photo-Reportage, War Photography, and Socialist Realism which provide the most effective and complete view of one of the most incredible experiments in human history.

David Malin
David Malin (UK1941-) has photographed some of the faintest objects ever detected by earth-based telescopes, and has been responsible for major advances in photographic astronomy. His photographs tell the story of the discovery and exploration of our galaxy, the Milky Way, and the birth and death of the stars that sustain it, as well as the vast universe beyond. Though the photographs are fundamentally scientific documents, they record the astonishing forms and colors of nature.

Aleksandr Rodchenko
During the first post-Revolutionary years, Aleksandr Rodchenko (1891-1956) was closely involved with the reorganization of artistic life in Moscow. He became a leader of the Russian Constructivist movement, synthesizing avant-garde visual theories with the ideology of the Revolution. Like El Lissitzky, he was a pioneer of Russian photography and photomontage, developing its use for illustrations in posters, books and periodicals. Together with his wife, Varvara Stepanova, Rodchenko designed layouts and covers of Russian avant-garde publications and collaborated with the painter and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, on window posters and advertisements for the state store, Mosselprom.

Yevgeni Khaldei
It is symbolically fitting that Yevgeni Khaldei, who became one of the most significant photojournalists of the 20th-century, was born in the same year as the Russian Revolution. On March 10, 1917 Khaldei was born into a Jewish family, the youngest of six children in Donbass, a Ukrainian steel town. He was introduced to the horrors of the Russian Revolution on March 13, 1918 during a pogrom, when a bullet fired by an anti-Jewish gunman passed through Khaldei's side and into his mother, killing her.
