Dutch photographer Rob Hornstra has been working on documentaries of the former Soviet Union for a long time. His work, in collaboration with Arnold van Bruggen, a filmmaker and journalist, documented the region's transformation over the five years leading up to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, which attracted worldwide attention, and was compiled into a series titled The Sochi Project: An Atlas of War and Tourism in the Caucasus. This book is the first in a series of collaborative projects with Bruggen, titled The Europeans. Titled "Former Capital," this work focuses on Lithuania, documenting through the words and portraits of its people the growing movement for a strong, independent identity amid the effects of a stagnant economy and declining population. This book evokes the rise of new moral values and identities, as well as the rise of closed politics and organizations in the face of rising globalization and open borders.
