Picture of the Week #502 "Slow Dance" Moscow, Russia 1988 Signed & Stamped

When I went to Russia back in 1988, I caught this group of dancers in the ballroom of the hotel where I was staying. I love the woman on the left who is looking at her partner with such admiration, that seemed to melt away all of the heaviness that is so prevalent in Moscow and for that matter all of Russia in those days. I haven't been back so I don't know if things lightened up since then. The reason I have been posting images from Russia is that it seems to be in the news every day lately and I thought it was a good time to post some of the images. Enjoy.
