Pictures from the legendary magazine.
Happy people with open, relaxed smiles and clear eyes, confident about the future, ready to take on the day. Exactly like you look at ordinary Soviet citizens from the pages of the legendary magazine “Ogonek” 50-ies.
National illustrated magazine “Ogonek” since its founding in 1899, aimed to explore life through photos and photos. In the 50s a huge country only recovered after a terrible war. At that time the people were full of enthusiasm and hope for a brighter future, and “Spark” was full of bright shots illustrating cheerful stories about labour exploits and socialist construction. Of course, these photos were staged and carefully retouched, but it’s not just pictures, this illustrations for a generation, an era, which is so radically different from our.

“The driver of Svalyava forestry Ernst Wagner had just finished her shift. But at home waiting for his new “job”: to help his wife to buy a daughter,” wrote Ogonyok, talking about the new, socialist life of Transcarpathia, only 10 years as joined the Soviet family of Nations.
Features of the new life in the timber industry are obvious: first, there is the profession of a lumberjack, there is electrophilic, operators of winches and tractor-trenevski. Second, socialist planning, put an end to the plundering of forest wealth. But tradition is still alive — for the ribbons of the hats the employees of the timber industry are, like their fathers, green twigs. “Very different was their life,” sums up “the Light.”
