Title
Tamara: The Blokadnitsy Project
Description
This portrait was one of many featured in The Blokadnitsy Project, a photo exhibit put on in CGIS South this past fall semester. The Blokadnitsy Project aimed to document the experiences of those women who survived the Siege of Leningrad in WWII. Under Tamara's story is the caption "Мы никогда не будем говорить на одном языке“ or “We will never speak the same language.” Tamara tells Bough these words at the very beginning of her story, expressing that her experiences in the blockade cannot be understood by those who have not had this experience. Despite this warning, Bough still forcibly tells Tamara's story in a neat and orderly fashion. This forced attempt to depict and understand Russia tension between translatability and untranslatability of Russian experience. Perhaps, its better to leave some aspects of another country, person, experience as a mystery.
