Soviet Photography

Bit of a niche one this, but the Internet Archive have released scans of 400+ editions of Soviet Photography magazine, from the 20s to the 80s. It's probably a trove of information if you speak Russian (I don't) but even otherwise, the photos are pretty good.

I'll have the potato soup and a shot of vodka, please, my good man.

Is not good. Is produkt of sick and broken Kapitalist system.

I have informed Politburo. Your family already on way to Gulag.

On Nevski Bridge a Russian stood
Chewing his beard for lack of food.
This stuff, he said,
Is tough to eat.
But it's a darn sight better,
Than Shredded Wheat.

I thank you.
