EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1960, we are transported back to the bustling residential streets of the Soviet city of Kiev. The image captures a momentary pause in the daily routine of street cleaners as they indulge in a well-deserved cigarette break. Clad in their distinctive clothing, these hardworking men don hats that shield them from the elements as they go about their duties. The scene offers a glimpse into everyday life during the 1960s in Crimea, part of the former Soviet Union. Amidst towering buildings and cobblestone streets, these dedicated individuals take a moment to relax and recharge before continuing their important work. Smoking was a common habit during this era, and it is intriguing to see how even those responsible for maintaining cleanliness found solace in this vice. The photograph not only showcases their dedication but also highlights societal norms prevalent at that time. This snapshot serves as a reminder of an era long gone by – when Ukraine was still under Soviet rule – offering us insight into both working conditions and leisure habits within the former USSR. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured by Mirrorpix, we are reminded of the resilience and camaraderie shared among workers who played vital roles in shaping cities like Kiev.
