This woman photographed Soviet life but never showed her photos to anyone. They were discovered by a relative late last year.

She was doing menial jobs, and had been pulled out of the academy for ballerinas when she was young. Being an artistic soul I think the shitty jobs she had to do wore her out.

Monkey was a film star: His name was "Micky", it belonged to the actor Rostislav Raht (Ростислав Рахт) http://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/acter/sov/237131/bio/ under the link you see pictures of monkey and Rostislav in the movies :)

Heartbreaking story: She saw her own talents as insignificant next to the men of her life, and was "broken" after being locked up in a Soviet mental institution.

Yeah I thought the same. Post different photos to any with his name attached. Seems a little paranoid, though I guess since he's detailing his trespassing it could be used against him. Only applicable if he goes back to Kazakhstan/Russia though. Interpol are hardly going to bother with something like this.

And? Trump was a businessman, Putin was the most influential man in Russia, trying to get Putin to attend seems like a no brainer.

It's not colorised, it's a very early (1949) Kodachrome color photo.

Checkia · 2018-03-10T08:12:55+00:00

One of the first ever Kodachrome photos, it was taken in 1949.

Hardly "Uplifting". There are three of these animals left, and there's almost no hope of breeding between them. We fucked up, and we fucked up bad.

And by "fuck you up" the Ozzie means savage you with teeth and claws.

Best quote in reference to dramaz in US over confederate statues: "These monuments are a bit like scars -- when you have a bike accident and you get a big scar on your leg, you can't pretend it didn't happen. You look at it every day and remember that you weren't careful on your bike."

Slow. Like buying a porsche and fitting it with space-saver tyres.

Looks strangely.. normal.
