One can instantly notice moderate traffic and lack of adds which
is a big plus point if you compare it to today's Moscow.
Interesting posting of this gorgeous supercity.

It's always interesting to see the old USSR.

very nice pictures! moscow was amazing city even than

very nice and idealistic. A bit to calm-looking for such an enormous city.

Very interesting pics. This is what communist-party members where looking at in western Europe in the 60's. Not realising that it was propaganda.

Reminds me of my Russian textbooks. ;)

so these pics are propaganda ???

The good ol' days...looks nice (except the commie blocks) and clean...

any moscow on snow pictures?
i heard russia winter is bitter cold.
its really unique

Those pictures are amazing, Moscow is a city that intrigues me but i still need to visit. Does much of Moscow still look like that i.e are many of the older buildings still there? Did they survive the wrath of the 60's and 70's? It would be nice to see some of those places now as a contrast.

so these pics are propaganda ???
please to withstand of bullshit comments.

Russia covers several thousands kilometers from north to south. From polar tundra to subtropics.

The streets are really quiet with pedestians mainly. For a city the size of Moscow there aren't many people around.
The city squares look really impressive. Nice pictures.

Awesome pics!

workers of the world unite!


great pics though.

It would be nice to see some of those places now as a contrast.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing them.

Thanks for the lovely photos, i enjoyed them!!

Ah...good old 60s . Moscow looks awesome on the pictures , except for the "khrushovkas" on some photos ( low-cost apartment buldings introduced during Khrushchev) , good thing they keep tearing them down .

What shocks me most about these pics is how few cars there were, especially with the ring moterway (MKAD). :)

nice pictures, I like the comparisons

Except for the quality of the pictures, Moscow still impressed people all over the world. The splendid architecture is amazing.

for comparison, Moscow of the 80-s thread here

I am so sorry , i didnt mean anything bad, i was just asking because one of the poster was suggesting something.

Btw I really like moscow pics, look really nice even back in the old days.

Level of life in late 1960's and early 1970's was much better than during deep economic crisis of 1980's. Of course not all pictures were taken during peak hours or on workdays. Some are taken on morning of weekend days. That's why not much of people on some shots.

truely amazing! commnism has gone!
well, the city wasn't really much socialistic back in 1960's. it was very capitalistic. you could have a business, just officially it was owned by the government.

Супер город всех времен и народов! Moscow changed a lot and it is still changing. I enjoyed it too much on my last trip there

thanks for the pictures, but we want more!!

cool pics!

Wow! Moscow looks great in those pics from the 60's!

Indeed, those old photos are great, awesome :)

More pictures!!
