67 Old Colorized Photos Reveal The Life Of Russian People Between 1900-1965
We at Bored Panda love to see history come alive, which is why we think you'll also like this series of colorized photos by Russian Flickr user klimbims. Historical life in Russia reads like a novel--which may be why it has been the subject of so many novels--and these vintage photos bring that forgotten way of life into the modern age.
If you like these interesting photos, be sure to also check out Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky's Russian color channel photography for another old-school way for photo restoration. But first, don't forget to vote on your favorite old photos below!

The minute I saw this post I knew that there will be a bunch of ignorant brainwashed-by-Western-Media people commenting s**t on Russian history and people! What I learned from this world is that one can't change or open the minds of everyone. So best of luck living in your ignorance and jealousy. Stock up some Antidepressants, cz Russia aint going no where! Happy to see all the great readers commenting nice things here!

Yeah I know what "occupied" meant. That included my family's farms getting stripped and half of my relatives sent to Siberia. And the school down the road getting set on fire with kids inside. Shut your mouth, idiot, before you embarrass yourself any more.
