It is time now to make a sister-thread for the Estonia before WW2 thread. A few old pictures from the post-war Estonia.
A Stalinistic propaganda photo: collective farmers are transporting some corn to govermnent, August 1949, Western-Estonia.
But photos like these were never published in Soviet Estonian magazines or newspapers: forest brothers.The guerrilla war of the forest brothers lasted until mid-1950s.
Some photos from the book "Soviet Estonia 1940-1955"
Narva
Tartu
Tallinn
Kohtla-Järve
Song festival 1955
Very typical houses from the early 60ies.
Estonians call them khrushchyovkas (hrutovkad) , named after Nikita Khrushchyov. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khrushchyovka. Btw, in fact this term in not so exact because Khrushchyovkas in Estonia look different than elsewhere in former USSR, their design is more Estonianlike. Maybe we should call them "käbinovkas" after the long time (1950-1978) party leader of Soviet Estonia Johannes Käbin?
No Audis, no BMWs but ...
