FIRST, AT LAST.
Cool pictures by the way.
OMG looking at old pictures from Russia tryuly is depressing, thanks to poverty and serfdom that existed in poor Russia. I hope they are happy
Not that I really care but I think this is the real Miss India.
If it is you can not resist the temptation to comment on every page can you!
Well since you do not go out anywhere because of your tumor it looks like this site is your social life now!
Oh well,you do what it takes to feel wanted:)
MISS INDIA PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP
You know Miss India, even if there had been anyone with a pathetic enough criteria to actually find your comments… entertaining… they are so repetitive nowadays that even that person must be tired… so you’re not funny anymore (not that you ever were).
And if not the real Miss India… then shut the bloody mouth or open wide and place a live handgranade on it, that at least would be fun.
I really like these old-album posts!
Wow, black and white cameras were first available for luxury 150 years ago… I wonder how those people afforded it.

This is different from todays Russia
Now if a Russian does not shave he will not get a girl,or maybe no job either!
Not true.
It’s interesting to see clothes of that quality. Even with lots of money, you couldn’t buy stuff like that nowadays. The hats are fantastic too – though I don’t know about #6 with the grass hut on his head. Perhaps he was looking for a bit of a tropical touch.
This is soviet style sensor ship. My posts always get deleted here.
Also, people in russia still dress this way todays.
Good photos from a simpler time.
Awesome photos!!! I love looking at pics of people from the past. I’m sure their lives were so hard we could not last a week living like they did.
Photo 16: “Hey Yakhov, pose for a picture with a half a cord of wood on your back” “OK no problem”
Actually I think some of these people in pictures might not be russians as 150 years ago St:Petersburg was truly a multicultural and multinational city. For example most of the horsedrivers, milk and butter mades and wood salers during that time where finns.
They are better dressed than us Maoris 150 years ago but they still look dirty
I just realized that the fellow on the left in the first picture is actually using his saucer. That was common some years back. You see quite a few older saucers which are deliberately made deeper. You pour the tea into your saucer and drink from there so as to cool it off. I’ve just never seen anybody do it before. I’m sure there is a lot of stuff that most of us missed in these pictures.
I have beard and no trouble to get Russian women. I have not tried to work in Russian Federation.
Girl in Russia easy. You just need little ruble and vodka. Be sure you bring big thick conundrum.
I like anal sex with shemales from Texas
Do you know shemale in Tijuana?
love the vintage photos. and the hats!
i’ve just discovered this awesome site. another excuse to spend too much time on the internet
I love vintage porn and anal rape.
You cheap hoe
Alot of people were Americans in the rural parts were poor too! Some of the people in the picures might have been Old Belivers .
Hi friend,
Your blog is really interesting and nice. That’s one of the few blogs that I’m following. Russia is a country that we’re so close but don’t know about so much. Here is Turkiye. Keep posting more.. Best regards
“…don’t know about so much”
Consider yourself lucky.
Those who know a lot about Russia wish that they would never had anything to do with it.
lucky about what?
like we do all the time.
we know enough, don’t worry. to know your enemy is not a bad thing..
I’m sorry for those people, but I wish they’d have enough courage to defend themselves against russia(and even conquer

these people look poor but happy and content with their lives.
Wonderful photographs, wonderful faces! Reminds you of how the world is sadly becoming a global village, and all these fascinating national differences are being ironed out and everyone wears jeans and baseball caps (sigh).
looking into the peoples eyes, you will see that then was very hard times,eh
I just love old photos like this. The 10th one down is interesting. I can’t figure out what’s going on in it.
The 2nd from the bottom is an outstanding photo.
I’m always glad when people have taken the time to preserve old pics & negatives.
