This is interesting because its similar to the advancement of the United States society at the time. Around this time the United States was introducing the Greaser sub-culture into the United States. Elvis Presley and Hollywood society became impacting factors on the social roles in society around this time, so I wonder if this was similar in the Soviet Union. Did the Soviet hipsters play any type of role in the conflict that was taking place in the Cold War at all? This was a time where teen age culture became a market and an official characteristic that was a part of the United States.

Comment on Kornilov’s Attempted Coup Backfired Worse Than He Ever Could Have Imagined by Nick Umana
Kornilov Affair was a really interesting piece of history that I had no idea about, The provisional government at the time seemed to lack so much power so I think that it was really interesting because it seemed that they were in such a position of dismay due to always being under control of a tsar.

Comment on Who are you? by Nick Umana
Your perspective on the extra research that you did behind this photo is really interesting. Its interesting that you were able to connect the lines between the portrayed emotions of the individuals in the photo to the social context of the situation. The way that the women were treated and the worn down faces that they carry is an implied illustration that most people probably would not be able to pick up on.
