EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a winter day in Moscow during the late Soviet era. Taken in 1986 at Gorki Park, the scene shows a group of children bundled up against the cold, joyfully riding on a sledge. The park, located on the Moskva River, was a popular destination for Muscovites seeking respite from the harsh Russian winters. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was in its final years, and the atmosphere of this photograph reflects the unique blend of communist ideology and everyday life. The rods used to pull the sledge shone brightly in the sun, adding a striking contrast to the snow-covered landscape. This image, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the historical past of Moscow and the Soviet Union, providing a poignant reminder of a bygone era.
