The Lumiere Brothers Photography Centre has opened an exhibition timed to the 110th anniversary of TASS.
World War I, Revolution, Civil War and the Great Patriotic War, hunger and industrialization — year after year, decades after decades TASS press photographers captured all the event of the Russian history on film.
The earliest photos date back to 1909 — 1920. They show Leo Tolstoy, Grigory Rasputin, and Crown Prince Alexey on a meeting with the Emperor Nicholas II in Odessa, and other famous people.
Altogether the exhibition presents 80 reporting photos that were unknown to the general public before.
