20 Years Since The Fall of the Soviet Union - Alan Taylor - In Focus - The Atlantic
My friend Alain-Pierre Hovasse is a photojournalist who was based in Moscow in August of 1991, and was a firsthand witness to many of the historic events - six of the photos above were taken by him. I asked if he'd be interested in sharing some observations from that time, happily he agreed and has shared his memories here: In 1991, I was hired away from Reuters in London to be Chief Photographer for the Agence France Presse and the European Press Agency in Moscow. It was perestroika (restructuring) under Gorbachev's tenure in the USSR; changes had been taking place since the collapse of the Berlin Wall and other Soviet satellites in 1989, and AFP had until then no permanent photographer in Moscow. Two weeks after I arrived, the biggest spontaneous political gathering since the Revolution took place near Red Square.
Les États-Unis possèdent l'étonnante faculté de transformer leurs radicaux les plus enragés, les plus explosifs, en inoffensifs eunuques.

Roman Opalka ne peint pas le temps, il le matérialise depuis 1965 par une oeuvre monomaniaque, Les Détails , qui repose sur trois éléments : des toiles couvertes inlassablement de suites arithmétiques, qu'il énumère en polonais et accompagne de son autoportrait photographié jour après jour, avec le même cadrage, la même chemise blanche, la même expression. Les chiffres grandissent vertigineusement sur ses tableaux de plus en plus blancs, tandis que le temps fait son office sur sa voix devenue râpeuse et son visage parcheminé aux cheveux raréfiés.
