Clicking one of the categories on the right/left navigates to a page where there are a few broad categories (like fashion, postcards, humor, etc.) and one can browse those. Poking around on the site is both fascinating and can be very rewarding, though one has to be careful not to give up too quickly if something seems useless--the site's organization means that useful and useless material nests side by side. It is noteworthy that not all items that are available for download are easily downloadable, and some of the links are not functional. The site's collection of journals (http://amnesia.pavelbers.com/the%20old%20newspapers.htm) is actually quite good and includes a number of late Soviet magazines. | Amnesia: лучшее из прошлого | Note: This online resource has not been found to meet all criteria for legitimacy.
