Photo Gallery of the Soviet Union

Bill Trumbull's Photo Gallery of the
Soviet Union
I took most of these pictures during a month I spent in the Soviet Union in 1991. Just months later, the Soviet Union was no more, replaced by fifteen independent nations. I was there working with my colleague Mikhail Ivanovich Popov of the Institute of Industrial Economics in Donetsk, Ukraine, to edit papers on the regional aspects of restructuring (perestroika) by Soviet scholars for a special issue of the International Regional Science Review. Some were taken in subsequent years on trips to Ukraine from 1992 to 1994. Thus, I witnessed the end of perestroika in the Soviet Union and the beginning of transition to capitalism in Ukraine.

Each of the photos below is the entry to a folder of pictures on that topic. Just click on the photo to go to its folder.
