What did the Russian police consist of?

The author, Vladimir Serov from Nizhny Tagil, says: “The series is part of the project of the art group “No Comments” and is dedicated to the last days of the Russian police. The photographs are united by a common concept and synthesize documentary typology and artistic genre. What is an item? Can he tell about his owner, about his character and habits, about his professional tragedies and trials that he had to go through? In these photographs dedicated to police officers, I tried to answer these questions and show the important role that the object plays in the fate of its owner, helping him to protect the lives, freedom and constitutional rights of other people.
