"Travel in Russia: The Soviet Union today"
While doing a topic for some reason does not leave a feeling of anxiety.
Then I realized, it's just envy.
Envy, when you look at the facial expressions of these people.
They have real faces. Not like in today's photos, however they were not staged ...
Sadness.
The author writes, valkorn:
In 1977, the National Geographic Society (US) has issued this book journalist Bart McDowell and photographer Dean Conger - 370-page work on "personalized geography", a portrait of the vast country and its people. Two Americans traveled all fifteen republics, visited dozens of cities, the result of a two-year odyssey began a detailed account of the Soviet Union. The book introduces the reader to Western history, culture and way of life of the peoples of the Soviet Union, almost without affecting the acute political issues. Critics, pretentiousness, protrusion defects is not there - "Journey ..." resembles a mixture of Soviet textbooks of geography and history, filed on behalf of a living person and loss of ideological indoctrination.
A couple of years ago drugoi shows a selection of pictures of Dean Conger, the draft National Geographic it almost does not intersect. 345 photos from the book I scanned a few dozen. All are made in the period from 1966 to 1975, separately shots, unfortunately, are not dated.
