Final yr while visiting Mongolia we travelled to Baganuur, as soon as a Soviet Military base, now an deserted relic of a special age. The bottom itself is worthy of a separate publish at a later date, however within the meantime I needed to share the next fragments of movie we discovered laying within the rubble. They had been clearly a part of a Soviet propaganda / training programme and are on 35mm film movie. The iconography means that it was a movie concerning the German Democratic Republic, however the different photos could possibly be from anyplace within the Japanese Bloc or Soviet world. I’ve not tried very arduous, however haven’t been capable of determine any of the folks featured within the movie, never-the-less it’s the finest piece of discovered movie I’ve ever come throughout. Possibly I’ll return sooner or later to try to discover the remaining.
Two of the frames function a few variations of the Nation Emblem of the DDR. The primary dates from 1950 – 1953, the second is from after 1953.
Different frames concentrate on industrial scenes, comparable to beneath.
The remaining are navy or political in nature.
Somebody may be capable to determine the above people. They’re most likely political figures of some variety.
These fragments of movie should have been laying within the rubble since no less than 1990 when the Soviet Military left Mongolia and returned to the USSR.
Let me know if in case you have any concepts or a greater information of the period
