Soviet past: Digital memories.


Today I came across a blog entry with a collection of pictures of the USSR from 1920s up to 1991 from the РИА «Новости» archive.

It's a very nice illustration of digitalisation of memories. What always strikes me most in such a memory work is its interactive character. Whereas the pictures show mostly nostalgic images of the Soviet past, in the comments to the entry we find references to the dark sides of the Soviet regime and the problems faced in the present.
