By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/give-over-the-plan-soviet-youth-of-the-60s.htmlReaders who bought the November issue LIFE 1967, expecting to see black-and-white pictures of the revolution fifty years ago: Red square, the working crowd, chanting slogans. Instead, the magazine was a Soviet youth: beautiful and quite wild girls and boys sunbathing on the beach, danced in clubs and delightful kissed on the feast of Neptune.

These pictures someone might seem presentable with a print life behind the iron curtain, but the Eppridge was your view. His photos are the first generation that has come of age, having been born after the great Patriotic war. It was a "generation Satellite". Unlike their parents, they grew up in a time when Gagarin went to space, but not during a terrible night knock on the door and the destruction of war. When they come to school, they saw a portrait of Vladimir Lenin and Nikita Khrushchev, not Joseph Stalin.
