The year 1983 was during the Cold War. The Soviet Union, including Russia, had a different political and social system than the United States. Life in Moscow, the capital, was unique. A set of photos by Alex Razbash gives us a special look at one New Year’s party. They show a Moscow family celebrating the start of 1983.
They show us how one family marked the new year. The photos are like a time capsule. They take us back to a specific moment in history. They feel authentic and personal. The setting appears to be a typical Moscow apartment. It’s likely a relatively small space, common for the time. The furniture and decorations are simple but cozy. The photos show a sense of warmth and family togetherness. This was important to many people.
