Not content to remain in the capital, she travels the country, visiting schools in dying villages; interviewing sex workers in foundering industrial towns; teaching children at juvenile prisons to draw, all while drawing their stories. Her portraits allow readers to see these people as more than words on paper and to see them as she does: with dignity, compassion, and love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cem\u003eOther Russias\u003c\/em\u003e is an urgent and poignant work by a major talent.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictoria Lomasko was born in Serpukhov, Russia in 1978.
