Russia: Searching The Forests is a feature story by Alexey Pivovarov now appearing on Gaia Photos.

Photojournalist Alexey Pivovarov begins his photo reportage, Russia: Searching The Forests, by reminding us that its been "68 years since Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union in the early morning of June 22, 1941. The war, referred to in the East as “The Great Patriotic War”, was to become the most deadly conflict in human history as millions of people lost their lives."

Alexey Pivovarov continues, "Today, the fate of hundreds of thousands of soldiers remain unknown, their unidentified bodies scattered in forests and fields throughout the vast country. Each year, Russian search groups set out to discover the remains of thousands of anonymous Russian soldiers who have yet to be properly buried, searching the forests, some of which are full of bones."

Please continue reading Russia: Searching The Forests, and view more of Pivovarov's imagery at Gaia Photos, a new international photography source nearly 60 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
