This time we are trav­el­ing to Kiev, the cap­i­tal of one of the most sig­nif­i­cant Soviet states — the Ukraine. Below you will find pic­tures from a book called “Ama­teur Pho­tog­ra­phers”, pub­lished in Kiev in 1986.

If you would like to clar­ify what is on the pho­tos  —  do not hes­i­tate to ask.  Click on the mag­ni­fy­ing glass icon for a more detailed view of the full sized images. Please fol­low us on Twit­ter and stay tuned. Thank you.
