Evgeny Feldman
Evgeny Feldman is renowned for documenting political and social upheavals. From 2011 to 2022, Feldman closely followed Alexei Navalny’s evolution from an anti-corruption blogger to a prominent opposition leader challenging Vladimir Putin's regime. His photographs provide a visceral, unfiltered look into Navalny’s life: electrifying speeches at mass protests, quiet moments of reflection, arrests, brutal crackdowns, and the relentless persecution Navalny endured. Feldman’s work also reveals the resilience of Navalny's movement, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into both the public and private sides of a historic struggle for democracy. Feldman’s photography has been widely published, contributing significantly to international awareness of Navalny’s activism and the broader political landscape in Russia. As a contributor to Meduza, Russia’s leading independent news outlet located in exile in Latvia, Feldman has played a key role in amplifying the voices of those challenging state oppression.
