soviet ipod of the era Leningrad, 1943 I find this one interesting. The labor and sacrifice 1942-1945 of the United Nations that was required to effect this meeting was, quite probably, the greatest single human collective endeavor, ever.

The Russian losses in WWII challenge the imagination, Heywood, particularly Leningrad. It's hard to imagine that kind of sacrifice today. Great post, by the way.

Best post in a long time—incredibly effective and moving images. I can see myself as the guy in the foreground reading Novyi mir (the "thick" literary journal) in this one. Spasibo, comrade Stav!

Elegaic, filmic, dense with mysteries, this is incredibly moving for depicting a truly lost world. Superb post.

For all the failures, CCCP had some incredibly powerful commemorative stamp designs back in that time, too. Sometimes I wonder if those heroic poses inspired some of our superhero comix.
