    These barracks had been used for their intended purpose but in 1996 the army left this place forever. Since then it's been a mess there. The barracks are located in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, 80 km (49 miles) from Odessa. They are
    called "Alexandrovskiye"  after the emperor Alexander. But today everything is abandoned and plundered. Below are photos of the plundered Soviet barracks that had been the splendid imperial buildings once.

    In the USSR even fabrics were used for propaganda. People ate on communist tablecloths, slept on communist sheets and hung communist curtains in their rooms.
    It seems crazy today, but such method of brainwashing effectively contributed to the huge propagandistic system of revolutionary communists.

    Photo Manipulations In The USSR

    Categories History, Photos, russian army, Russian Nature, Russian People, Society
    Contemporary news agencies are often blamed for photo manipulations. It started long ago in fact. Back in the times of WWII graphic artists learnt to distor reality and show what they wanted to show but not what really had happened. Thus, they often added excessive Nazi atrocities, terrible ruins and looting to fill papers with horrifying images. However we do not have to exclude that such atrocities and other terrific events could
    really happen, it was just difficult to catch them with a camera due to their spontaneity. Photographers were rarely in a right time and in a right place. It's today when everyone has a cameraphone we can shoot everything we see. Photo manipulations as an instrument of propaganda is claimed to be natural. Below you will see some photos taken during WWII that underwent montage for the purpose of propaganda.

    Soviet censorship did not permit nude bodies on TV screens as a rule of a thumb. Most of these shots are exactly from the movies of the 1960-70s (and even earlier
    periods). At that time western movies were not shown at all. That's why students came back to movie theaters for several times to see those scenes again and again..
