Les cahiers russes #[nn]

A haunting and deeply human work, Les Cahiers Russes: La guerre oubliée du Caucase is a firsthand testimonial narrative by Igort, published by Futuropolis in 2012. The cover immediately conveys the weight of the subject: a composed woman in white dominates the foreground, while behind her a cluster of grave, weathered faces emerge against a sky lit by distant flames — and below, a solitary figure bundled against the snow walks away into a bleak winter landscape. It's a striking, painterly composition that signals something thoughtful and essential about lives caught in a forgotten conflict.
