The presented collection of photographs about Russia is based on a photo archive obtained in the long-forgotten depths, the most dusty archives of one of the oldest factories in St. Petersburg (Russia). Here, in these photographs, the usual, and maybe for someone unusual, but very intense everyday, as well as industrial life in Russia during the Soviet Union, and maybe even earlier, is interestingly revealed. Of course, there are many photographs from demonstrations, Lenin's subbotniks, trade union and Komsomol meetings, and this can be understood, because it was an integral part of life. There are mysterious photographs where someone was cut out with scissors, or, for example, some people are marked with crosses on their faces, apparently there were reasons for this, but so far they are unknown to us. By the way, among the many photographs you can find pre-revolutionary photographs or photographs of the 20s, the negatives of which were made on glass.
