Not so different on the Volga River - she looks just like us.

Well it seems some parts of Russia did very well under economic change while others have fared poorly. This young woman looks just like we do or a lot of us anyway, but, hopefully they've not caught up with Paris yet.
Kostroma, Russia, 1992

A young woman in Kostroma, Russia, reclines in a car while listening to music.
This city, located on the Volga River about 211 miles (340 kilometers) northeast of Moscow, is the center of Russia's textile industry. As such, residents here were quick to adopt Western styles, like the tight blue jeans and fashionable high heels worn by this woman, during the years following the breakup of the Soviet Union.

And someone to go with, unless she's waiting for someone.
Shouldn't speculate, should we. A picture IS worth a thousand words, trouble is it leaves a few out.
Nice one, Tracy.
