"Through her excellent photographs and her inquiring and humanistic temperament, and with powerful artistic expression, Bertien van Manen shows what historians, writers, sociologists and political scientists argue, that there exist at least two Russias. There is the official, imperial and external Russia, known to us from newspaper headlines, and the one within, the hidden, poor Russia of the anonymous, ordinary people of whose existence Bertien van Manen's moving and revealing album tells."
Ryszard Kapuscinski
"Of the many photobooks documenting (the social and political situation following the collapse of the Soviet empire), Dutch photographer Bertien van Man's A Hundred summers, a hundred winters is one of the finest, a remarkable piece of work by an astute photographer who refuses to take the easy option and go for the cheap shot".
