We are very fortunate to have gained the access to the collection of photographs below — they have come from a private collection of Eugene Orlov, a keen photographer of 1960s, scanned by his grandson. Portrayed is a series of shots from a summer walk in the Gorky Park, an iconic family recreational venue in Moscow. Please click on the magnifying lens image for the close up and if you like it — tell your friends!

Nice but fake
I doubt those pics are of the 1960s. The 1980s are more likely. Reasons: I can hardly imagine an “Attraktzion” in the Gorky park under a foreign name (Musik Express). For sure no electric carts. American (Russian) Hills were built about that time only. The plastic covered hangar of late 1980s.…. Finally, people holding plastic bags in their hands.…
Nice but fake
Noticed a couple of other things
And note the last photo: the militia man in moder uniform And the lampposts!!!! Those appeared only in 1990s.……
After all Eugene Orlov, a keen photographer of 1960s, or his grandson a deft scanman of 2000s made a mistake in their time-line attribution
Nice but fake
BTW the American hills ATTRAKTZION in called Eurostar (one can still read it in reverse/mirrored letters0 — hardly a name for Moscow of 1960s

Wow you are good! You should be on imdb picking up movie goofs!
As for us, we usually take the word of the cameraman — but now I realise we probably shouldn’t. Thanks.
