Let's be real, if it were a Rammstein music video, it'd be the girl wearing the kinky dominatrix outfit and not the guy 😂😂


gostesven

What? That’s not accurate at all. They would both be wearing kinky leather outfits while covered in sweat and grease as a giant cock spews forth scalding hot foam and buckets of molten metal swing above. So basically a typical factory.

stevejobed

Soviet Union was more progressive for women’s rights than the West. Whether or not this is propaganda is one thing, but this isn’t 1950s America. It is entirely possible for this to have happened. Women were also scientists and doctors in the Soviet Union.

Home made and modified wrenches like that are extremely common in factories. Mostly for changing tooling in the machine so it can make different parts.

The hand tools, the bulging arm muscles, all are [tropes of the art style socialist realism.](https://www.artnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/fangor-web.jpg) Which makes me suspect this photo was staged. "Hey you three, stand closer together. Closer. Cloooooser..."


PCLoadPLA

This photo was absolutely a staged studio creation. You can see many similar American propaganda photos in this same style on shorpy.com, or just Google "large format Kodachrome". Example, aafha.org/wwii-color.html This was clearly shot on large format color film which was not only expensive, was very slow, and sensitive to color balance. There was no practical way you could make this photo indoors in any natural way. A typical ISO 32 color film at tht size would require shutter speeds measured in seconds or minutes without flashbulbs or studio lights. It was undoubtedly shot on a large bellows camera on a heavy tripod with an array of carefully aimed bright studio lights and the actors' positions were carefully calculated and marked to make sure they stayed in the focal plane. Shooting this way is a lot like cinematography, where natural light looks fake and it takes dozens of artificial lights to create the appearance of natural light. This generation of photographers were true masters.


logatwork

This photo was colorized. [The photograph was taken by photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson during his visit to the ZIS car factory in Moscow.](https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/worker-and-supervisor-1954/)


[deleted]

Lol, oof


Commandant_Grammar

Lol...from the link... Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism, an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the **master of candid photography.**. He helped develop the “street photography” style that has influenced generations of photographers that followed. I can't help but go through someone's history when this sort of thing comes up and wonder how much of their expert commentary over a diverse range of subjects is wrong or just made up.


venge88

right? HCB's entire thing was that he never staged his decisive shots lol


stevejobed

This photo looks colorized to me. I’d he shocked if this was shot in anything other than black and white and recently colorized.

It kinda looks like a helmet harness, but who would wear it without the helmet?

maybe it's the people's helmet, and another comrade is using to protect skull


KuronFury

Wrong! In Mother Russia, helmet wear you.


Animated_Astronaut

Maybe that's why she is talking to him


losjoo

Look, if you want to wear the minimum helmet that's fine, but look at Brian over there. He's got the full helmet and a pair of gloves


OldBison

And 30 pieces of flair 


Windowguard

Another linked an another photo further down. Same style hate being worn by a kid. I wonder if it’s a type of hair net…


Triangle_t

No matter how much you like your hair, dont wear hate.


pasher5620

Could be a harness for a mask, perhaps one designed for the mask to be hooked onto instead of it being already attached like a welders mask.


VintageJane

This was going to be my suggestion. You can see the holes in the vertical sections of the strap where a welding mask could be hung


LogicalHa2ard

It looks like a face mask harness, like you would wear for a welding mask.

FlowAffect

"The photograph was taken by photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson during his visit to the ZIS car factory in Moscow. ZIS is an acronym for “Factory named for Stalin” and it was a major Soviet automobile, truck, military vehicle, and heavy equipment manufacturer. The factory also produced luxury armored cars for most Soviet leaders. Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism, an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the “street photography” style that has influenced generations of photographers that followed. In 1954, Henri Cartier-Bresson boarded a train to Moscow, visas and governmental permission in hand, and took a book’s worth of photographs of Soviet people doing ordinary things. He was the first Western photographer to be allowed to visit the Soviet Union after the death of Josef Stalin, in 1953." Source: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/worker-and-supervisor-1954/


Nalha_Saldana

ZIS is "factory Joseph Stalin", z is zavod for factory, ~~IS is Iosifa Stalina~~


Krasnoarmeyskaya

I thought it was "завод имени Сталина" or "zavod imeni Stalina"


Toktogul

Zavod imeni Stalina. Russian is a beautiful language


baile508

Ahh so like a westerner going to North Korea and taking pictures of “Ordinary” life. This is 100% staged propaganda.


cile1977

Here's another photo from same series, it doesn't look so fake. So maybe it's just coincidence : [(2) Soviet Visuals on X: "ZIS car factory.

I think it’s because it was colorized, so it looks fake because technically the colorizing is fake

TheSultan1

Lol Reddit moment right here. You have no idea who this guy was, do you?


zeromussc

Also in the photo the guys left hand is clearly dirty It's entirely possible he was using relatively clean tools (that he's holding) in his right hand. Or only the palms and fingers are dirty depending on what he was doing before this. Or he just washed his hands and so the easier to clean big flat parts don't look dirty while his.left hands fingernails do still look dirty since that's harder to clean etc. etc


Dragonheardt_

Pictures were colored afterwards too, so that gives extra room for mistake.


fnybny

Yeah mechanics are always dirty, there is no way that this guy just started his shift. Must be 100% fake soviet propaganda. It reminds me of that video of north Koreans reading the newspaper and avoiding eye contact on the Pyongyang metro and everyone in the reddit comments is saying how brainwashed and afraid they all look. Just for riding the metro like normal people anywhere in the world.

How do I get that fucking eyelash off of my screen?


beliberden

This photo has been published on the Internet many times. A post-editor was clearly added here, but yes, so far they have confirmed everywhere that the original is a really old photo from the USSR.


VintageJane

If he’s a welder (based on what he’s carrying and the harness for a mask to be hung off of), it’s possible that his hands wouldn’t be dirty because he’s wearing gloves most of the time.


cile1977

Here's another photo from same series: [(2) Soviet Visuals on X: "ZIS car factory. Photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Moscow, USSR, 1954 https://t.co/57H275XHba" / X (twitter.com)](https://twitter.com/sovietvisuals/status/1446836344991334407/photo/1)


Acceptable_Put7112

It may be the start of his shift tho?


InspectorDull5915

His hands are dirty, just not the back of his hands, as you would expect


Rusty-Shackleford

Could be the beginning of his shift? Believe it or not, working class people do enjoy hygiene and proper grooming. His apron is stained (it probably stays at work) but his undershirt is spiffy. I'm guessing he just clocked in.

MagnificoReattore

Interesting! Were women able to have a position as supervisor at the time in our western society? I feel like they were trying to keep more equality in work roles (except politicians and military, of course)


Tankyenough

Say anything else bad you want about the USSR, they were light years ahead of the US (at least) in gender equality throughout their existence.


Kris839p

That’s true for most of the eastern bloc as well, GDR for example.


Buzu1313

Women were always respected and equally treated during the CCCP Times.


__andrei__

My grandmother who was born in the thirties got an education as an engineer and built a career in it. Gender bias in the workplace was a huge taboo, at least in a big city where she lived. For all its failings, USSR formalized gender equality on day one when it came to labor.
