Soviet Youth as You've Never Seen Before

Subscribe
Take a look at never-before-seen pictures of Soviet youth in Sputnik's gallery.

Despite living in a communist country, Soviet young people were enjoying the best time of their lives, which seems to be much more exciting than contemporary times. They had no gadgets or fidget spinners, but they traveled, practiced sports and partied hard at rock concerts. It seems that the youth of the XX century was legendary.
