First - what a dork I is
FIRST!
Beautiful.

I’m a big fan of old St. Pete’s photos.
I agree.
actually it`s Moscow.
A double-decker troleybus! Very nice! There were 50 years ago double-decker troleybuses and trams in London (besides double-decker buses), but I didn’t know that such thing existed in Moscow too. Can anybody recognize a factory badge? Was it made in the USSR? I would be disappointed if it was made by Leyland, or so.
My guess is that the first one is a YaTB-3, built in Yaroslavl (all 10 of them) and used in Moscow in 1939-1948 (1953). Now, I am reading an “E” between the wings on the badge of the vehicle in the second pic, which makes me wonder if that one was the original English Electric Company vehicle purchased for cloning in 1937. OTOH, some sources suggest that EEC machine had steering column on the right, so I am not sure.
OK, the first one is definitely YaTB-3
Has anyone else noticied the “International Book House” on the 9th picture?
Many of these pictures look like they could be of any American city of the same time period minus the signs in Russian.
Just a fact for all you - Milwaukee during the early 1900 had a major communist community and even had a communist mayor! Are we really all that different?

Also, Milwaukee Wisconsin had a communist mayor during the same time period - are we really that different?
