My Soviet childhood in photos. Episode 1. "Militarism, sports, space"
Some 30 years ago, taking a photo was an invent. Sometimes we went to professional photo salons and transformed into pilots, navy officers and Russian Hussars.

Militarism was promoted widely. Luckily, I was able to avoid military service...

Late 1980s were accompanied by inter-ethnic conflicts, which meant that soldiers - peacekeepers - were patrolling the streets. I made friends with them.

They let me wear their helmets. A bit heavy...

But I liked other helmets too. Here is some hockey without ice or snow!

More helmets...

And space exploration, of course!
