Was a country - the USSR

It just so happened that August was a historic month for Russia. The death of "Kursk" in 2000, defaulted in the 98th, and, of course, the August Putsch '91, which actually meant the end of the nuclear, aerospace, scientific and cultural empire of the USSR. One can argue about how good or bad life was in the Soviet era. But it is impossible to strike out this time from the memory of our youth and youth of our parents.
We offer a selection of rare photographs of the Soviet era, made in different decades and different parts of the vast country. Vivid examples of Soviet photojournalism and household footage from personal archives, they help us to feel the spirit of the time and enjoy the atmosphere of friendship and loyalty. Because everything that you have in the USSR, is yourself.
