                                                                                                          - English Russia

 

A young graduate of the Yale university visited Russia in the beginning of the revolution. He made hundreds of historical documentary photographs and hid them at home in California. However, 100 years later his granddaughter opened the trunk box of her grandfather to find more than 500 hand-painted plates that allowed to have a journey to the year 1917. The plates were fully restored after nealy a century of darkness and now you can see amazing colored pictures of the Russian history of the 1917 revolution time.
