The collection consists of eight films shot between 1970 and 1995 on 8 mm film. The footage depicts travel, leisure, cultural events and everyday life during the late Soviet period.
A significant part of the collection is devoted to travels across the USSR, in particular to Uzbekistan (Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara) and Crimea (Yalta, Alushta). The footage features architectural landmarks, urban spaces, markets, tourist attractions and popular resorts, as well as sightseeing routes and everyday scenes from the lives of local residents and tourists.
