In January 1991, Keizo Kitajima began a year-long series for the Japanese magazine Asahi Graph, traveling to all fifteen republics of the Soviet Union accompanied by the journalist Kazumasa Nishioka he unexpectedly found himself documenting the final months of the USSR. Only days after the final installment of the series was published in December 1991, the Soviet Union officially ceased to exist. This 2025 publication of "USSR 1991" is part of an ongoing re-examination of Kitajima’s past work, following books such as "European Diary 1983-1984" and "New York" As part of this process, Kitajima decided to pair his USSR 1991 photographs with a series he shot between 1983 and 1984 in various Eastern European cities.
