These shots are amazing, considering when they were made and how the photographer went about it.

Wow! Aside from the fact that they could serve as illustrations for the book I'm reading ['Riding the Iron Rooster' by Paul Theroux] about a long train trip through Russia, the photos are just amazing. Thanks for the link.
