Cönig women
Until 1946, Kaliningrad, separated from Russia with Lithuania and Belarus, bore the Prussian name Koenigsberg. Some local residents sometimes call him Koenigsberg, or König, or even diminutively-Kalik. Irish photographer Kate Nolan shot young residents of the city to tell the story of the post -Soviet generation that does not belong to Europe or Russia.
From the author
The Kaliningrad region, wedging into Eastern Europe, is separated from Big Russia Lithuania and Belarus. It is geographical isolation that makes this area that is not part of Europe and physically separated from Russia, unique. Kaliningrad - an exclus of Russia and the EU Enclave - is in a fragile position.
This fragility is compensated by strong and independent women who told me about their dreams and fears and became my guides in the history of Kaliningrad and individual human destinies. Being between the hammer of Russia and the anvils of the new Europe, these women are looking for their place among the two worlds.
