Russian photographer and photojournalist Vladimir Lagrange has died at the age of 83. About it informed founder of the Lumiere Brothers Gallery and Center for Photography Natalia Grigorieva-Litvinskaya on Facebook.
Grigoryeva-Litvinskaya called it “the most Russian, the most Moscow.” He was one of those people for whom I wanted to return to Moscow, she noted.
