Novosibirsk, Russia

These young folks, on Lenin Square in Novosibirsk, never grew old and crumbled like their political party. At one time they symbolized the high aspirations of the 'new Soviet man.' Behind them is the largest opera house in Russia, where the lightness of Prokofiev's The Love of Three Oranges contrasted with the seriousness of the statuary outside. [1999]
