Time-slip Pictures of Sergey Larenkov

These time-slip pictures combine recent photos digitally stitched together with historic photos from World War Two, or as it was known in Russia, 'The Great Patriotic War'. During WWII the Soviet Union suffered nearly 25 million casualties.

The pictures I have chosen here are only a sample from the Leningrad images:
