Two Skaters Jump on the Sevastopol Embankment

Two men jump as they skate on the embankment in Sevastopol, on March 13, 2014. The Ukrainian flag has never really been embraced in Sevastopol and its famed port, home to Russias Black Sea fleet since the time of the tsars.In this city of 350, 000 -- where the squares and streets carry the names of heroes of the Crimean War or the Soviet Union -- Ukraines independence in 1991 was traumatic.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of youthful exuberance and defiance against the backdrop of Sevastopol's historic embankment. Two skaters, their bodies suspended in mid-air, leap fearlessly as they glide across the pavement. The Ukrainian flag flutters nearby, symbolizing a nation struggling to find its place in this city deeply rooted in Russian history. Sevastopol, known for its renowned port housing Russia's Black Sea fleet since imperial times, has never fully embraced the Ukrainian flag or its independence. With streets and squares named after heroes from past conflicts like the Crimean War and Soviet Union era, Ukraine's bid for autonomy in 1991 was met with trauma and resistance. In this photograph by Viktor Drachev from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness an offbeat scene that defies expectations. These young men challenge societal norms through their rollerblading antics on the beachfront. Their playful game serves as an illustration of resilience amidst political tensions. Drachev expertly captures not only the physicality of these daring jumps but also hints at a deeper narrative about identity and belonging. Through his lens, he invites us to ponder how individuals navigate complex historical legacies while carving out their own path forward
