   Anyone familiar with their military? What rank is this guy?

   Who’s the girl?

   What ever happened to them?

   The soviet navy regulation jeans are the best.

   Is there anything more Russian that a black and white striped shirt under a sailor’s uniform?

   Was it against the law to walk on grass with your shoes on?

   Every picture I’ve ever seen of girls in Russia in the early 90s makes me assume they’re prostitutes.

   … and a whole lot of them were.

    I can hear that woman’s accent through this picture. Is firm. Is mother. Mother, Russia…

    There was some epic perestroika happening that afternoon.

    I’m Norwegian, was visiting neighboring Murmansk in 2000. This pic reminded me I bought a sailor’s undershirt like his there.
