  <body>I just found this book while browsing at a second-hand/remainder store yesterday. A collection of images shot all over the ex-SU on May 15, 1987 (20 years ago) &quot;A Day in the Life of the Soviet Union&quot;:http://www.amazon.com/Day-Life-Soviet-Union/dp/0002179695 is a fascinating glimpse at daily life during Perestroika before everything changed dramatically and consequently a little different than all the other &quot;A Day in the Life&quot; pretty books. Big name contributors include Galen Rowell and Sebastiao Salgado. 

Another name popped up thrice while I was looking through it. Andy Levin - did you contribute to that project Andy? The bios seem to match, somewhat.

Anyway - interesting book and a change from grim imagery.</body>
