EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dmitry Kostyukov, we are transported to Victory Park in Moscow on a sunny day in April 2009. The image showcases the harmonious blend of history and modernity as a Russian teenager effortlessly glides across the concrete on his skateboard. As he skillfully maneuvers through the park, it is impossible not to be struck by the juxtaposition of youthful energy against the backdrop of a city steeped in rich historical significance. The presence of Victory Park serves as a poignant reminder that just decades ago, Russia was embroiled in one of its most challenging chapters – World War II. This young skater's carefree spirit symbolizes resilience and hope for future generations, paying homage to those who fought valiantly for freedom and peace. The composition beautifully captures both architectural marvels and natural elements within this urban landscape. In the distance stands an elegant church, representing Russia's deep-rooted cultural heritage. Its towering spires seem to watch over this vibrant scene like guardians of tradition. Kostyukov masterfully encapsulates daily life unfolding amidst historical landmarks, emphasizing how ordinary activities can coexist with extraordinary legacies. Through his lens, we witness how skateboarding becomes more than just a game; it becomes an expression of freedom and individuality within a society shaped by its past. As Russia prepares to celebrate Victory Day on May 9th each year since then, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder that even amid bustling cities and fast-paced lives
