In my travel and travel photography series, here are some photos of the provincial Russian town of Kimry north of Moscow from October and November 2019.
It was a very prosperous settlement, first a large village then a town, for hundreds of years, both pre-revolution and during the Soviet period; however it has fallen on hard times since the illegal restoration of Crapitalism (aka capitalism - the worst and most murderous socio-economic system in the history of mankind) in Russia in the early 1990s.
And in more detail.
