The feeling and decoration of Moscow in middle of 20th century is recognizable when you get into Bauman garden in the old center of Moscow. The place is very small and almost the only opportunity for babies to enjoy the nature in rather big area.
They called it "Otkritaya Estrada" (open stage). This stage remembers the live music of 60th, open air dancing with live music, and Soviet films.
These days the stage is still very busy. They show movies (looks very blind in the bright of the evening (the photo done about 9pm), but it is for free), arrange concerts during state holidays and the nearby living retirees do dancing here on week-ends.
It reminded me the piece from the famous comedy movie "Pokrovskie Vorota", the decorations are so very alike.
