- Description
- Two women, probably urban residents, appear about to enter a building in Kharkiv. The first is carrying a large bundle and wears a long black scarf or veil while the woman behind her has adopted the more “modern” urban practice of wearing no head covering. The captions to the photo state that they are entering an empty store that normally sells food (presumably on the basis of ration cards). A photo of Commissar Kliment Voroshilov, one of Stalin’s close associates, is propped up against the windowpane.
