Something interesting I found today, here’s Winnie the Pooh song from the 1969 Soviet cartoon in different languages.
List of languages represented:
- Avar
- Ossetian
- Dargin
- Kumyk
- Lak
- Lezgian
- Tatar
- English
- German
- Russian
The first six are small languages of the North Caucasus region of Russian Federation (republics of Ossetia, Daghestan). Tatar is the language of Tatarstan republic of Russian Federation.
My visit to Cosmonauts Alley in Moscow was entirely unexpected; I walked into a park and there it was. A very spacious, monumental place with statues of Soviet cosmonauts and space scientists (Tsiolkovsky, Korolyov and others). The area is surrounded by blooming chestnut trees, and you can see Ostankino TV tower in the distance.
A ‘Soviet candy shop’ on Novosloboskaya. It carries some traditional Russian sweets and has a nice little display of vintage packaging. And the impressive Soviet red scales!
Pioneers from other cities came to see the Red Square. Moscow, 1976.
Traditional patterns of autonomous republics of Russia:
Chuvashia - Daghestan - North Ossetia - Mari El
Kabardino-Balkaria - Tuva - Komi - Bashkiria
Mordovia - Udmurtia - Yakutia - Kalmykia
Illustrated by G. Fisher. As published on postcards in 1967.
