An original 6.5x9" vintage photo (NOT a modern reprint) from the estate of a space enthusiast.

This photo is from a collection of rare, original photos labelled "Soviet cosmonauts & officials from the 1960s and 1970s".

Photo Overview

This original black and white photograph captures a Soviet military officer taking aim with a competition target pistol inside an indoor shooting range or gymnasium. The officer, wearing a heavy greatcoat with star-adorned shoulder boards and a distinctive dark fur ushanka hat, extends his arm to fire a single-shot small-bore pistol at a target mounted on a pillar. His spectacles and mustache give him a distinguished appearance as he concentrates on the shot.

Behind him, two uniformed Soviet officers in peaked service caps look on attentively, watching the demonstration. The setting appears to be a large recreational or training hall with fluorescent lighting, tall windows, and a polished floor, typical of a Soviet sporting or military facility. This image comes from a collection of original photographs documenting Soviet cosmonauts and officials during the 1960s and 1970s, offering an authentic glimpse into Cold War era Soviet military and sporting life.
