25 Unseen Colored Photos Of Russian People From 1900-1965

It's hard to argue that Russia is one of the most distinct countries in the world and a lot of it has to do with its history. Now we have a unique chance to see a glimpse of it in a fresh new way with colorized vintage photos from the Motherland.

Thankfully Russian Flickr user klimbims kept himself busy with colorizing vintage photos, some of which date back more than a hundred years back. Diversity and a whole different perspective on life can be seen in these moments immortalized in time.
