These science-fiction pictures are the works sent to the “USSR-2061″ contest which gave the possibility to dream of the Soviet Union in 50 years. If it existed, of course.

They’re neat. But I can’t understand how average Soviets could go to Mars and live, when they couldn’t go to England or the States to visit.
Oh wait, Red Planet!
Well, by then communism was supposed to have taken hold in the rest of the world and the soviets would have their world domination.
Instead, everybody has run from communism back to a more capitalist society, except the USA, communism just needs a little bit more time to take a firm hold.
Red Planet, ROFL!!!!
Obama will be out of that big white house soon and communism won’t have a chance to take a firm hold!
МАРС ☭ – i love it
“Apple trees will grow on Mars” is, very probably, a theme stolen from Ray Bradbury´s Martian Chronicles. In one of the stories, there is a man similar to Johnny Appleseed who plants the tree seeds on Mars.
I love the Transport Line photograph, it’s the best.
FIRST!!
The “Red Star,” by the great Marxist Alexander Bogdanov was a novel written about a Marxist utopia on Mars (the “Red Star”); written in 1908. Bogdanov and V. Lenin were once allies but by 1908 they disagreed about Bolshevik philosophy. His 1913 novel “Engineer Menni” was a prequel to “Red Star” giving the story of how Mars was colonized and the development of the utopia.
Bogdanov was a brilliant polymath.
A. Bunka here. Dream on…
The palace of the soviets is on mars in 1 of the pics.The only way that building would stand is if the giant Lenin was not on top.
Dream on.
how I wish, we could really achieve that dream!
I don’t understand the human obsession about the red planet.. it’s a sterile, cold, waterless, airless rock, like our Moon.. just as Sahara desert, minus the oxygen and heat.. you wouldn’t do nothing there, except living under domes or underground bases.. a waste of time, money and resources!
A. Bunka here.
So, like most space travel then? It is only so nations can show off who is the best. And guess who won.
God bless the USA and NASA. Keep showin’ them reds how it’s done.
Bunka, it’s not the 80s anymore, so yes, in 2011 it’s a total waste of money and effort
the US stopped all man space eploration forever 5 days ago. Russia has not.
great pics
