About the photo exhibition "No Further. End of the Soviet Union in Kamchatka 1991/92":
In the autumn of 1991, Anselm Graubner set out from Weimar for distant regions. By chance, he was able to witness the end of socialism on the Pacific coast. As a photo correspondent for the regional newspaper Kamchatskaya Pravda, he documented the working and living conditions in a place that lost its military significance with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. This resulted in both openness and a new beginning, as well as a lack of prospects and decline.
Eastern European historian Corinna Kuhr-Korolev (ZZF) reviewed Anselm Graubner's extensive collection of photographs from Kamchatka together with him and curated a photo exhibition, which is on display at the ZZF. A publication to accompany the exhibition is in preparation and is expected to be released in December 2025.
