EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unique atmosphere of Moscow in 1986, during the final years of the Soviet Union. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was a historical political and economic union of thirteen Soviet republics, with Moscow serving as its capital city. In this scene, the grandeur and majesty of Moscow's architecture shine through the foggy, moody weather, with the iconic red stars and hammer and sickle symbols of communism adorning the buildings. The Muscovites go about their daily lives, oblivious to the historical significance of this moment in time. The cityscape is a testament to the social and political history of the Soviet Union, which lasted from 1922 until its dissolution in 1991. The 1980s, and in particular the year 1986, were a pivotal period in the history of the USSR, marked by political and economic changes that foreshadowed its eventual collapse. This atmospheric photograph, taken in 1986, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of communist rule and Soviet history.
