Brighton Beach (aka "Little Odessa") lies on the southernmost part of Brooklyn. On Brighton Beach one doesn't have to make any effort to tell who might be Russian strolling on the Boardwalk, cause everyone is, practically. I decided to make a series on them going up to random individuals who looked interesting but I knew nothing about. Their stories below the captions are fake, based solely on the figment of the photographer's imagination. - All characters appearing in this work are fictious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
