  1. Someone needs to colorize this pic, so we can better appreciate the clothing.

  2. I can easily imaging this in colours. Such a beauty! But we should always remember that Russians want to destroy this beauty. Golodomor is not far… Maybe she has some pre-feelings because she looks quite troubled.

  3. This subreddit should have culture and history Wednesdays, or something. The war and right now is our focus but this is such a fascinating picture. Isn’t there art on Fridays?

    Put some historical and cultural depth on the menu one day a week too. Just this one picture says much to someone like me, who is from the other side of the world!

    Humanity lives in the pages of culture and history.

  4. The terrible famine Stalin caused is about to make life awful…

  5. She would be considered a beauty in any decade.
