The battle for control of the region's vast oil and gas reserves and the search for a national identity have led to far-reaching changes for the population, the environment, and general social values. Teshaieva's images reveal an atmosphere of insecurity, where people pin their hopes and expectations on a transformation whose direction remains uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis series was the winner of the Photolucida's Critical Mass Book Award 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMila Teshaieva\u003c\/b\u003e (b. 1974 in Ukraine) lives today in Berlin.
