Devoted to today's inauguration Photo

Photographer’s Note

This huge billboard tells us "Thanks for confidence. Medvedev D.A."

But does not tell, thanks to whom :) It is obvious that there is only one person whom Dmitry Medvedev has to thank for one's confidence :)

And if without joking - people here in Russia have only to hope. To hope firstly that this man will feel himself real, INDEPENDENT president of the great country, and will in course of time get free from these who intends that he will be their marionette.

Of course, this sounds fantastically, but a place for hope always exists, and fantastic things happen sometimes in the history...

Здорово, Кострома!-Здоровенько...У нас в Перми без этого обошлись. После ЕРовской рекламы уже всех тошнит и видимо решили не тратиться. На ходу што ли снимал? Ракурс не очень...

Errr... Everything is not so dark as you wrote here, I think. Hope, marionette... We shall see. Me personally think that he will be real president, simply because power change people.
Anyway, this is not a right place to discuss this, eh? This is all about photography.
Good photo of a quite depressive place, that's for sure. But, so many advertisments here, lovely girl in front of Medvedev, hehe! :)

Hello Igor. I like the large posters everywhere in the world. They state much over a people and political conditions. Your photo is very authentic. It shows Russia like it is. The enormous poster and the small people are a wonderful contrast. We all hope together for a good way of Russia. Best regards, Wolfgang.
