Diana’s mother, Zhanna, died in 2015 after using the drug known as krokodil. Krokodil, a cheap substitute for heroin, was one of the deadliest designer drugs ever to sweep through Russia. Its appeal was simple: addicts could easily learn to cook it in their kitchens using ingredients purchased at local pharmacies and hardware stores. For a fraction of the price of heroin, the drug produced a similar high and was just as addictive.

But the damage it caused was far more gruesome and often irreversible. The addict’s flesh at the injection site would often rot away, while the tissues of the brain and other vital organs were severely eroded.

In 2013, photographer Emanuele Satolli followed some of these addicts in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. Earlier this year, he returned to find out what happened to them and to witness the quiet devastation krokodil has left behind.
