Gorky in the 1950s.
Gorky was the name given to the great Volga town of Nizhny Novgorod between 1932 and 1990 after the writer Maxim Gorky , who was born there. During much of the Soviet period, the city was closed to foreigners in order to safeguard the security of Soviet military research and production. These photographs were taken during these years and, therefore, are most interesting.
I first came to the city in the mid-1990's, and have returned on several occasions since. I like it very much.........

Music: "Pastorale" by Igor Stravinsky, played here by Alexandra Grot and Peter Laul
