School No. 205, Moscow, Russia

2014/04/17



In Soviet Union most of the school didn’t cary names but rather were numbered. In smaller cities the number of schools didn’t exceed a two digit numbers, but in cities like Moscow there could be more than a thousand schools, at least this is what comes out of their numbered “names”. They schools could be called “School #1022″, “School #111″ etc. And when kids talked to each other they referred to a number in order to identify which school they were visiting. Also the schools were not divided into primary middle and high schools, they were just “schools” where the children of all school age attended. In Soviet times they were forced to wear school uniform, however in early nineties most of the kids already didn’t wear it. This is being said a photo series of the Russian school of early 1990s, to be exact 1991 and the school number was “205″
