Iskra Soviet etc. photography before 1990?

[Ernst Dinkla]

Since I bought the Iskra camera five years ago I have been curious about its use by photographers in Eastern Europe before the fall of the Berlin Wall, USSR etc.

I have seen Boris Savelev's pages and he has gained some credit on his old work and the more recent printing methods:

There are two names mentioned in Serrano's excellent article on the Iskra; Galièna Loukianova, specialist on Russian rural nostalgia and R.Ostrovskaïa, but I can not find any reference to their work on the web:

Are there names, images, publications available on the internet?

I think you are misspelling her name a little and that's why it's difficult to find info. It should be "Galina" probably

And this one http://www.rita-art.org/ is for Rita Ostrovskaya if we mean the same photographer.

Arvay, thank you

You must be correct on the names.
Any knowledge of more photographers of that period that used Iskras and similar Soviwt MF folders?

Arvay,


Rita has a selfportrait with an Iskra 2 so it must be correct.

Both show good photography.

Thanks again,
