Sunny Moscow

From englishrussia.com come these photos from 1967 Russia.

The photo above and many of the others found in the link depict a Moscow that is not as desolate as I have always pictured. Granted, these shots were taken on sunny, non-wintery days and there's always the chance that they could've been staged by the government. Note that there are several men wearing capitalist-pig suits and women attired in what looks to be 1930's/40's style American clothing.
