The history of the Moscow queue in photographs

Today we have the story of the Moscow line. In fact, what people stood in a queue, you can learn the history. Pictures queue very much, they were mostly off the tourists. In the 30-ies of the queue is mainly in the dining room and a mausoleum in the 80s in the early 90s people began to stand in McDonald's and cigarettes, and 98 year formed a queue to exchange offices and in banks. It's nice that today huge queues in Moscow, mostly to museums and at passport control at airports. Tell us in the comments about your experience of standing in lines ????

6. The queue at the mausoleum, 1932. "Talk about my visit to the Mausoleum. It was in 1984. Defended long turn (not only for the deficits we stood to see the dead lined up in long queues). So, to defend the place, entered the "Svyata-saints", at the memorial hall. After glancing at what was once "the leader of the revolution", for some reason I looked back. All the people were turned to the pedestal with the body and they looked at the remains with such interest that I took apart the hysterical laughter, looking at it. With great difficulty, restrain myself, because I thought that I will bring out the soldiers of the Kremlin regiment for lewd behavior, I almost ran out of this Mausoleum, and since then there never was. So here is the tour."

Thus I became the owner of a gorgeous pair of white patent leather with dark blue band on a huge platform and tall heel sandals. It was an unprecedented success, notice, never (!) to me this doesn't happen, and I usually saw what you captured in this photo - dense wall of strong backs.
