Figure 1.--Here we see a Russian prinary class we believe in the 1970s. The cvhikdren look to be aviut 9 yers old. Note the rather stone-faced teacher. The boys wear non-militrary suit jackets. Niote the white collars that on most ibstances have nothing to do with the shirts they are a wearing. The girls wear dark dresses, appearently in different shades and pinafores.

A Russian reader tells us, "Another new uniform was introduced in 1973. It was a dark blue suit from the half-woolen fabric, decorated with an emblem and aluminium buttons. Matching pants and jacket with five aluminium buttons, cuffs and two breast pockets with [?valves]. Girls continued to wear pinafortes." We think that there were some differences among the barious vonstituent republics, even from school to school. We see many portraits during this perios that show no sign of aliminum buttons. What we tend to see is boys wearing suit jackets with noi sign of military features like Epaulettes. We are nor sure about the color, but we think were mostly dark blue. We have few color images unrilk the 1880s. The girls' dresses also seemn to be dark blie. Girls in the Ukraine may have worn brown dresses. We have noticed features trhat werebnot standards (all union) throughout the Soviet Union, like white collars for the boys. It is possibkle that indiuvidual schools may have added uniform features.
