As the stunning follow-up to the incredible set we called The Ghosts of World War II's Past, Sergey Larenkov has just released new photos - this time on the occupation of Paris circa 1940.
In November 2010, Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta organized an exhibition of Sergey's work in France. While there, he decided to make a new set dedicated to that country, from the start of France's occupation to its ultimate liberation. He even traveled to Omaha Beach, Normandy, the site of D-Day and the decisive stage in the liberation of Europe in World War II.

It's interesting to note that this 40-year-old St. Peterburg man isn't a professional photographer at all, in fact, this project is just his hobby. Sergey's actually a sea pilot, leading ships around in the Finnish Gulf and through the port of St. Petersburg, Russia. Find out more about him in our exclusive interview below where he talks about the very personal reason why he started it all.
