OMG Russia is very poor country, look at Soviet architecture, it is absolute crap and far from western standards, beautiful buildings were built only before 1917. I think Russians will never overcome western standards of living, Russia is 3rd world country
Miss India/Masha..
See below
Have you decided to stop posting as Miss India. I’m not surprised - given you have made a complete fool of yourself on here!
Perhaps it would have been a good idea to change the nature of your posts in some way? It’s a bit obvious.
OMG why are Russians all old and fugly? Where are the youths?
they were raped by me
Kids? Stolen by evil Gypsies like you.
There is a very serious social difference between province and center of Russia. Moscow clubs are nearly the best in Europe. Many foreigners love Moscow and have good fun and life here.Russian girls are mostly very good-figured and pleasant-looking. our new society still has got a lot of problems to decide, but we are trying, do not forget that only 15 years passed by after USSR collapsed. This is history and we have to admit that. Russian literature, history, poets, ballet, scientists are the greatest in the world. I think States do have also bad and good sides in their society. But thanks to states for entertainment industry and Hollywood! This is amazing! You can not deny the fact that american films are the most popular and best technically done in the world. The only one possible way for us to live: is to be friends, to be closer, to exchange knowledge and experience between each other, to create international families, which helps to improve genes a lot, to support each other if any threat will come both on US or Russia! lets not be so f……g stupid and put rubbish on our heads! American, or Russian???? it does not matter, we are both great nations!!!!!!
I take it that Miss India / Masha from Russia has not seen the home of African-Americans in some areas of Chicago? If you want to see poverty, take a look at these. For your information, all these towere blocks are all centrally heated and are actually quite comfortable. Inside the people create little palaces of homes. They might look “drab” from the outside, but inside is a different story. In Soviet times, everyone was fed too, unlike the USA. Culture wise, what is there is the US - McDonalds, Starbucks, KFC? The US destroyed the culture of the North American Indians, not so in the USSR.
It is painfully obvious that Miss India / Masha of Russia has never set foot in the country.
Oh beutiful soviet 70’s.. Probably one of the top economies in the world. 1977 the year my parents were married, and a year before I was born. Thanks for the pictures a lot!

OMG! Russians are so poor that they can only afford to take great photographs of their beautiful country before it all went to shit!
Really, La Russophobe - gosh! That’s amazing - have they sold all their cameras for cabbage?
Hang on though…..I seem to remember seeing some more recent pictures of Russia somewhere…. let me think…… um….
Oh… that’s right - there are thousands… on EnglishRussia!
-10 marks…. for being wrong
-10 marks for inconsistancy. You are on record as saying Russia is a shithole (and worse) on numerous posts. Now you say it’s beautiful…
So.. after a recent 8 marks you are back to a terrible score!! It’s detention for you and extra work after school.
For the union!
the way you speak, “miss india” puts shame on ur country.
I think these photos are great. The street scenes are good. Gotta love nylon flowery dresses!!
Anyone know wher the white blocks of flats are in pic 31? The one with the two people on the balcony?
It looks like they were being shown as modern, cool places to live.
Nylon?
I remember dresses like that in the U.S. on women of my mother’s generation — or thought I did, but they weren’t nylon.
OMG all beautiful buildings were built before 1917. Soviet regime ruined the country and built a lot crappy looking high-rise commieblocks, that’s why Russia looks like big ghetto
Ahh! memories of the 1970s. Glorious era! Only bad memory: women’s did not groom privates
lol - I think that was a world crisis, not just Russian.
Masha from Russia ты ебнутая (-ый)?
Wow, thanks for the post. Hochetsya smotret’ eralash. Eto vremya moih roditelei.
Russians woman had to make skirts from flowery bedsheets and blouses out of curtains it seems
1965-1975 was the golden age of the USSR, I think.
My two cents: Everything looks really clean compared to modern Russia. And one of the guys looks like Woody Allen.
обсирают-обсирают а всё равно ходят и смотрят=)интересно значит.
How could this (communism) work for so long?
СССР ехх… было время золотое!
Фак ю хатерс
fak u haters USSR rules
and NO CHEEEESY BILLBOARDS!
70s were one of the darkest decades for Czechoslovakia. Following the Soviet occupation in 1968, the country was subjected to in-depth purges both within and outside the local ruling Communist Party. Ideological gleichschaltung was omnipresent, again. All hopes for a better system, which had flowered during 60s, i.e. the one providing more freedom while honoring the socialist values (free education, free medical care etc.), were mercilessly quenched by Moscow and its local puppets.
Early 70s also brought a wave of emigration - mainly to USA, Australia, SAR, before the Iron Curtain was slammed shut again, jailing the rest of the population in Soviet Bloc for another generation.
No, 70s were neither optimistic or happy for Czechs.
oooooo sux :-/
The author seems to be confusing Soviet State with the people within it. During the 65 years of communist oppression there was no “golden era”, nether for Russians nor the Czechs. The only “golden era” for the soviet society, was the perestroyka in the 80’s - the end of the system as we knew it!
Katastroika was only golden era for you Jews.
For rest of mankind it was a disaster, when the crime state USA took over the rule.

WOW,I walked by that red building across the street from the man on the horse statue in Ekaterinburg!
Life seemed ok and happy back then.
LOL at Bilosh
Miss india the comments were funny but are now just repetitive, as well as all the people with MR. or MRS. in front of a country’s name attempting to copy cat (troll?)
all in all i really enjoyed those photos and i think the “commie-blocks” add a great sense of atmosphere to Russia’s cities
great capture of atmosphere the photos were amazing
After looking to the pictures, it seemed to be a multi-cultural societies in Soviet time.
Comrade, your propaganda has worn its welcome.
Russians are killers…
As the (GRD) great republican depression, fired by OPEC greed and high oil prices spreads unemployment over America, one has to begin to draw comparisons to the former U.S.S.R. and wonder, Is this the end of the American Empire as we know it? Huge, unprecedented, pay-offs to the thieving shylocks, shysters and banksters in the U.S. and astounding socialist bail-outs for the car companies, - equally brutal capitalist exploiters of the proletariat - haven’t insulted the booze soaked, pot and cocaine addicted, hormone meat fed, fat-assed early breeding, underemployed slaves to capitalism yet! What will it take to change the inequalities in the world? Are we doomed to a series of short lived petty exploitative “Empires”? Can somebody do a “Photo - comparison” of pictures with detailed parallel descriptions, of the ruins of the former U.S.S.R. and comparable photos of the closed car factories in Detroit, abandoned amusement parks in New Orleans , and soviet counter-parts,the Ohio Rust belt, abandoned coal mining equipment, abandoned buildings, airports, abandoned military planes in the deserts, and so on, to let the American and Russian people see that they are really not far from the same mess? The end of the post WWII boom?
” end of the American Empire as we know it”
I would hope so. And trust me, Americans will be better of in the end. At least they’d be able to sleep at night.
But is Obama the man for the Job? His latest actions (or rather inactions) state otherwise.
Change… don’t make me laugh!
You asked, “Can somebody do a “Photo - comparison” of pictures with…”, what kind of lazy bum are you? This is the internet, fool, there are all kinds of pictures for free. Why do you have to be such a whiney lil’ troll and make a drive-by attack on America then expect others to do your bitch work for you? Do it yourself, you f_cking pig!
Great pictures if i only had a time mashine i would like to visit Soviet Union….
Masha seems jealous i think shes a biatch behind daddys pc serfing all day long and eating daddys money…..
Do you like anal rape?
Do you like anal rape!?
Shut up bitch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0skwNkuhX2U&feature=channel_page pretty funny, no?
These is a set of nice photographs… после я увидел эти фотографии, мне кажется, что в СССР при Брежневу всё хорошо!
After i have seen these photographs it seems to me that under Breshnew USSR was just fine! Was it so?
If the soviet golden era was the late 70’s, what went wrong?
Because the crown jewel was suppose to be the OG1980
It was the ending of Breznev years, the uncertainty about the 3 following soviet leaders?
It was the afghan war?
I know you love USSR Boris, please stop your lies about perestroika.
I guess photos showing anything but happy workers, prosperous ladies and polished buildings were censored by the Party, so these photos are only the merry side of that times.
The statue in the background in the 25th pic down in Moscow,
the worker and the farm girl unite
ejje calm down… the standards of architecture back then was the same in the occident like in the whole country baby…:-P and by the way… who says everyone has to live with “western standards”?… that’s wrong lady…
Greetings!
P.S
Defend you country “Masha from Russia” LOL… soviet union is also of your roots…(sorry the english) XD…
Soviet Russia succumbed to the same fate that all empires have faced. Communism survived because it existed undisturbed. All forms of government whether it be communism, democracy, monarchy, theocracy, dictatorship, dynastic, empirical or any other form of government, it will survive simply because it is. Only when acted upon by outside forces will governments dissolve. It has been happening since the beginning of civilization. Regardless of the country in which you reside, if you check your nation’s history you will find a succession of differing forms of government. The Soviet Union still exists. It is just governed differently. It was once czarist Russia. revolution brought forth communist soviet union, and revolution brought Russian commonwealth. only this time it was a peaceful revolution. all nations of the world have had periods of superior force either military, or economic, and all nations suffer decline. It will happen to the U.S. as well. Do not mourn what you feel is the loss of a dynasty, but savor the experience of watching your nation evolve. All governments dissolve but the nation itself will always survive.
russia is a beautiful country,dont know why there are so many negative comments bout it.
{Was it so?}
It depends on whom you’ll ask this question to. About 85-90 per cent of people who actually lived in USSR in those years will certainly say they’d be glad to return that time.
That is a country (СССР) and a time (70s) I would have loved so much to live in…
I would like to live in that grat times
