A Precarious Family That Sparked Outrage

Irina Popova’s project began with an assignment to photograph “feelings.” Shortly thereafter, Popova ran into Lilya, a young punk woman, outside of an underground club close to St. Petersburg, Russia. After striking up a conversation with Lilya, who appeared to be inebriated and pushing her young daughter, Anfisa, in a stroller, Popova took some photographs of the mother and daughter. The two hit it off, and Popova was invited back to the apartment Lilya and Anfisa shared with Pasha, Lilya’s longtime boyfriend and Anfisa’s father. This started what would ultimately become Popova’s book, Another Family.
Over the next couple of weeks, Popova took photographs of the young family in their tiny apartment. Friends moved freely in and out of the space, music was played, people partied with alcohol and drugs—all with young Anfisa present. The photographs Popova took during that period were shown in a gallery in St. Petersburg (attended by Lilya and Pasha) and then shared on the Internet. Outrage quickly built. Viewers were upset by the way they perceived the couple to be treating their child. Many were also angry and saw Popova as an opportunist for photographing the situation without intervening. “I couldn’t imagine the reactions at all,” Popova recalled about the backlash against her. “Maybe it’s weird, but my intention was to talk about the possibilities of love on the margins of society, and I hoped to bring more understanding, to build a bridge between people and to raise awareness that bringing up a child is not an easy task.”
