The Sochi Project: An Atlas of War and Tourism in the Caucasus is a collection of works by Dutch photographer Rob Hornstra. He is a photographer who has been working on documentary works on the former Soviet Union for a long time, and this book is a collection of works that compiles the actual situation and changes of the region over the five years leading up to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, together with film director and journalist Arnold van Bruggen. The words on the cover, "This is the new face of Russia, our Russia," are an ironic quote from President Putin's speech, and Hornstra's photographs and Arnold's text tell us that the reality of this region, which was once seen as glamorous and positive, is full of large-scale human rights violations and atrocities, and democracy is just a facade. This is the second edition of a collection that has received high attention and acclaim worldwide.
