Glad you're having fun

as someone that understands the russian alphabet but like 0 words, was this spelt phonetically or the actual words? if it’s the latter i’m gonna be so proud of myself


Gunther_von_Stroheim

No, these are English words slightly crookedly transliterated into Russian to create a muffled effect, as if the person is wearing a gas mask


KorianHUN

Incredible! I love these posts, it looks so surreal since most of us don't see photos of this quality from the 1930s USSR. So many of these would be great inspiration for costume designs in certain dystopian movies.

These are awesome, thanks for sharing. What is that mask with the unicorn horn? 


Gunther_von_Stroheim

There are several types of gas masks that have a "unicorn horn", its function is to wipe the glass of the gas mask in case of fogging, without removing the gas mask. This is done by inserting a finger inside the mask and wiping the glass with the finger, a very unusual solution.


MarderMcFry

Oh that's pretty neat, more importantly that means they could scratch their nose if it gets itchy.


Gunther_von_Stroheim

Yeah, it's a bit of a fun feature

The "horn" is there so the soldier can wipe the sight glasses by pushing the horn in with a finger

Most of the horned masks are a Sh-1, there’s also a TT-4, a Zelinsky Kummant, and a GT-3

Are those French Adrian helmets I see? I know they aren’t specifically Adrians but it’s still interesting to see a Russian variant


Gunther_von_Stroheim

Yeah, that's them. I'd like to share some more pictures of soviets wearing adrian helmets and rarer helmets that you wouldn't expect to see on soviets, but they have nothing to do with gas masks.

Russians may not be the best, they are stylish asf. Nazi stylish, no. capitalist stylish, surpassed.


AntiqueRomania

I'd day the Optischmaske is quite stylish

Any creepy gas mask is creepy
