In Russia there is a big community of people who used to run through the forest with wooden swords as teenagers in the 1990s. They made cloaks out of curtains; ran away from home; knew Tolkien by heart; played elves, hobbits and musketeers and believed in the fine ideals of knighthood. Today they are adults with their own families, office jobs and routine problems, but most of them still continue role-playing. For this project role players of different professions were asked to come to their workplace in their favorite costumes and play their favourite characters.
