Talented photographers
Love some quality photographs! Thanks!
A lot has changed in Russia, but the fall roads are still the same!
So many great photos here! I really like the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment one with the bicycle and water. The “The construction of an open-hearth shop” photo with the staircase and windows reminds me of the Elvis film “Jailhouse Rock.”
Maybe, Some photos have subtitle – ‘The Art of Work.’
These photos are beautiful.
In “folk festival” pic,how serious looking they are ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Under the sharp eyes of V I Lenin ! ! ! ! ! ! !During the Socialist era,there was nothing “folk leftover” ! ! ! ! ! !
I think the “city on piles- oil rocks” is Azerbaijan.
“I’m just chillin in this whale”
Of course all photos made according to Soviet guidelines: work is always pleasant and never tiresome, everyone is fit and like dancing, there are no sad faces, no poor people. But anyway, great photos, I like them.
Follow the guidlines or Stalin probably will put them in prison.
Maybe the refulations of the work were made by the state of workers?
The music of euclidean geometry (last ten pics).
More please!
