    "Kosmos: A Portrait of the Russian Space Age presents a once-unimaginable look into the heart of the Russian space program. Adam Bartos's photographs take us inside the assembly halls of the nation's missile developers, the vacuum chambers of its spacesuit manufacturers, the offices of its space engineers, and the launch sites of its largest cosmodrome, Baikonur, to reveal not only Russia's remarkable technological achievements but also their startling beauty. Viewed in the context of Russia's past, adroitly framed in an essay by Svetlana Boym, Bartos's images evoke the rich incongruities of the Russian Space Age, the tensions between culture and science, individual imagination and collective aspiration, and the Soviet citizenry and its military elite. Since recent changes in Russia's political climate have again rendered many of these sites off-limits, Bartos's beautiful images provide us with a rare and irreplaceable look behind the rusted iron curtain, into the unique culture of Russian space exploration."
