Anton Martynyuk and Anna Tichonova, Volgograd
Anton Martynyuk and Anna Tichonova, photographed after their graduation ball, are part of the Jewish community in Volgograd. While there were over 5000 religious Jews registered in Volgograd before the 1917 Revolution, only a handful of
them remained in the city following the war. From 1960 to 1980, the local Jewish population grew to several thousand people, when Volgograd welcomed dozens of families of Mountain, Georgian and Bukharian Jews. Approximately one million
people now live in Volgograd, 10 percent of whom are Jewish.
