‘I don’t feel anything’: Photographer Sergey Stroitelev visits the Siberian town in mourning after Russia’s deadliest coal mine disaster in years

On November 25, Russia experienced its deadliest mine accident since 2010. A methane explosion at the Listvyazhnaya coal mine in Siberia's Kemerovo region killed 51 people -- 46 miners and five rescue workers. In the town where the Listvyazhnaya mine is located, it's difficult to find a family that doesn't have a connection to the industry. The people of Gramoteino have been mining coal for generations. Entire families work in the mines and some continue to dig for coal despite the fact that their loved ones have died underground. For Meduza, photographer Sergey Stroitelev traveled to Gramoteino to talk to surviving miners and local families about how they're coping in the aftermath of the disaster.
