FLOWERS FOR THE AMERICAN

When the дежурная, the woman on duty in my train car on my first trip to Siberia, in 1984, discovered I was an American, she put these together for me.

"I was that summer wandering around the Soviet Union for seven weeks by myself, exploring and taking photographs." More on 1984, the USSR, and the US, here and here.

More photographs from the Trans-Siberian Express here and here; more from Siberia, here.
