About the Book
Cheryomushki is a photobook by Nikolay Bakharev, published by Stanley/Barker in May 2025. It brings together portraits made at river and lake beaches near Novokuznetsk, where workers and families gathered to rest. These sites were among the few public spaces in the USSR where limited nudity was tolerated.
Bakharev’s approach is direct and cooperative. He worked with his sitters in close proximity, aiming for mutual trust rather than observation. The result is a restrained record of everyday intimacy: families, couples, and friends, photographed without staging.
The book is produced as a hardback with a tipped-on cover image. Cheryomushki contains 120 pages and measures 240 × 270 mm. Text is in English. ISBN: 9781913288822.
Packaging & Shipping
We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.
We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.
Returns
Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
