Moscow unseen [A photographic tribute to Soviet life]

In 1956, one year after the peace treaty between Russia and Germany, Peter Bock-Schroeder was the first West German photographer to be permitted to visit the former USSR for a photo reportage.

Photographic records reach their full significance in historical moments. "The Soviets" has become one of Bock-Schroeder’s most important and poignant reportages.

Bock-Schroeder's journey took him through the huge space of the former Soviet republics - from the Central Asian Countries to the Transcaucasian Countries, from the Baltic States to European Russia.
