1. Beautiful collection of photos.

2. Great photos. Poland and Sweden looked so much alike in the 1980s, it’s kind of wild. The hats, the old doors in that aparten where everyone is smoking, the striking shipyard workers and that building behind them. I gotta go check out what Poland looks like today!

3. This is so interesting to see! I visited Krakow in 2018 and once you get out of the main center the 80s architecture is really cool!

4. Gosh, reminds me of mom.. she was working as a seamstress in the 80’s as well for a hungarian textile factory. She wore a brown colored cotton fabric shirt that had a collar as well.

5. The hell was the 18th photo of?

6. Ah, my parents told me about the times when you had to wait in line for hours at the shop with your food token, and the shelves were empty

7. what happened in 1980?
