10 PHOTOS

1. Men diligently master a new skill. Will it be useful to them in life or in the service? It is possible that someone after retiring will be engaged in farming.

2. In perestroika times, the first domestic beauty contest was held. Soviet girls proved that they are no worse than foreign models. In the photo, by the way, one of the finalists is Ekaterina Meshcheryakova.

3. Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev can't take his eyes off Hollywood actress Jill St. John, 1973. And it doesn't matter that colleagues around are talking about something important.

4. 14-year-old Melanie Griffith is in the same bed with a pet lion named Neil. The parents of the future actress - Peter Griffith and Tippi Hedren - were crazy about representatives of the wild.

5. Today, in an ordinary circus, you can see a monkey as much as possible and look at harmless tricks. What can not be said about the circus of the 20th century: they throw knives at a child - and nothing.

6. American model Vicki Dugan walking the streets of Hollywood. After that, the girl began to be called "Back" - for the habit of wearing dresses with cutouts at the back.

7. Ivan Unger and Gladys Roy (a girl, by the way) were wing walkers or “wing walkers”. Here they are playing tennis on a flying plane for the thrill.

8. In 1972, the Rothschilds staged a ball that went down in history as the most outrageous. To capture the essence, just look at the images of the hosts of the evening - Marie-Helene de Rothschild and Guy de Rothschild.

9. In this picture, Arnold Schwarzenegger is already a budding bodybuilder. He is only 16 years old, and the most interesting thing in his life is just ahead.

10.  The waiters working in the American auto cafe rode around on roller skates in a rather strange way. The form seems to be at least inconvenient - did the owners of the establishment “score” on the staff?

And what event from the past are you ready to study like an expert historian?
