Seventies and Now (WTF!)
Here are a few shots of Russian youth from back in the Seventies. Mustaches and Beatle’s haircuts abound! For comparison, we also included some current day pictures of Russians (below).
Interesting note – this is a fake “Marshall” amp! It was not possible to get foreign equipment in Soviet Russia behind the iron curtain, but you could replicate the logo and put it on your Russian amplifier to look cool.
And now, just for fun, here are some pictures of modern Russians poking out of garbage chutes with pizza and wine! Enjoy the WTF-ness.

Lost generation of Russian youth.
Im from Canada and when I read this I thought John Wheyne was right when he said “Life’s hard but it’s harder when your stupider”.
To every thug in Russia. My goodness have some pride and grow some balls for your countries.
You’ll have so many high paying jobs if you won’t know what to do.
Forceful takeovers of properties and business are becoming an everyday affair in Ukraine.
If you leave your apartment in the morning and find that thugs in the entryway are blocking your return at night, don’t be surprised. If you discover that locks to your office have been changed without your approval, try to conceal the shock.
Both events are signs that your apartment building or your company could be under attack from raiders.
Forceful takeovers of properties, sometimes accompanied by dubious court orders that exploit Ukraine’s vague and loophole-ridden laws, are among the reasons why investors are not exactly lining up to do business here. In this nation, nobody – not the average citizen, medium-sized company or major foreign investor – can be assured of basic property rights.
“What Europe? It’s Zimbabwe! Here any stranger with false documents can solve anything. What money can be invested in Ukraine?” asked Andrea Palossi, an Italian businessman who lives in a Kyiv apartment building with residents who found their homes at the center of a business dispute recently.
The Anti-Raider Union of Entrepreneurs, an association of 300 businesses, has identified some 50 raider groups which are particularly active. Some are for hire. Others are so organized that they choose the victims.
The organization’s head, Andriy Semydidko, said anyone can be the next victim. But smaller businesses that can’t afford good lawyers are easy and common prey. In this lawless environment, factories, offices and apartments get muscled away. Other times the raiders’ goals are merely financial shakedown and blackmail.
“This year and last year there have been many cases when tenants were thrown out of municipal properties,” Semydidko, of the Anti-Raider Union of Entrepreneurs, said. “Hair salons, small shops, grocery stores, dressmakers, studios – the same pattern was used everywhere. Forged rent agreements introduced new tenants and then led to illegal privatization of the property.”
Not all cases are documented. But, the Anti-Raider Union of Entrepreneurs estimates that some 2,500 such attacks on properties took place in Ukraine in 2008, the highest number the organization has recorded since it started keeping track in 2005. This year’s total is expected to be at least as bad, Semydidko said.
Go to hell.
Most of them look like a cross between The Bee Gees and the Beatles.
The 10th picture looks like my neighbors
As far as the “Marshall” amp is concerned, Sovtek’s Marshall copies were good amps after replacing the switches and jacks.
Also, FWIW, the Marshall amps were Fender copies, which were basically developed from freely available Western Electric schematics.
Those guys with the long hair look cool!
The Soviet Union did not force them to cut their hair??
I agree SSSR - they do look cool with their long hair.
Soviet Rock Musicians/Bands.
ussr in the seventys hippys in the 60s no differance
Pizza photos are from modern photogame - guys just doing tasks.
So pic 10 was not downloaded from a rock album from the net!!?
The girls in #4 and center of #6 are really cute!
I wish pictures of this type had been widely available in the USA at the time. I grew up then, and still remember hearing a lot of anti-Soviet propaganda in school, that made it seem like nobody was allowed to dress like that or wear their hair like that.
The “guys emerging from the rubbish chutes” pictures are really weird, though. Does anyone know what that was about? Just some goofy college prank or popular photo gag (like “holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa”)?
It was a kind of joke or “flash-mob” initiated by a russian web-site. Who would like to participate should make such a photo and send it to website. I think this series of photos are also published in another article of Englishrussia but can’t remember where.

The guy in picture 12 has the exact same haircut as the antagonist in No Country for Old Men…
The one with Marshall rocks!
Do you think young girl on button worn by sex maniac in photo #9 knows that her life was in danger?
You know when I first looked at him picture I thought something not right with this one… Maybe he constipated with big nasty turd crosswise up his butt that is why he make ugly face for picture. But maybe you right, maybe he planning to kill beautiful girl on pen. He is looking mad on his face like wanting do something wicked. I don’t know what you wanting do about it?

#13 looks just like Anton Chigurh, the hitman from the movie No Country for Old Men!
