DescriptionA dramatic image, illustrating the photographer's ability to create uniqueness from the mundane as Ignatovich captures rows of identical soldiers moving in one synchronized motion, dark uniforms contrasted by the cold-gray walls of the Kremlin in the background. The repetition of the perfectly erect rows of soldiers leaves the viewer with a feeling of strength for this evolving Utopian society.On View
