Birthmark (Rodinki) is a play on words and can mean both “birthmark” and “little home.” (The BOBs – Deutsche Welle Blog Awards, 2011) Community blog launched in late 2009 as local photoproject documenting daily life of Novosibirsk Region (Western Siberia) now presenting works more 40 authors with stories from the whole Russia.
