Just came across these photos, they had no info attached save for a watermark, so I just spent the last fifteen minutes deciphering it.


Photos created by Сергей Ларенков.

translated as:
Sergei Larenkov -- I believe this to his livejournal blog, which is written in both Russian and English.
Loads of great relevant context to his photos and the history behind them - highly recommended.
