Document recovered from a Soviet military base abandoned after the collapse of the USSR. Poster celebrating 60th anniversary of the USSR, 1922-1982. "By outstanding (military) service and by heroic labour let us increase the glory and might of the Homeland!"
Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourful propaganda wall art, faded frescos of Lenin, discarded gas masks, and huge monuments, including those in the shapes of a soldier and a sword.

Japan's spectacular cherry blossom, Japan - 14 Mar 2013
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s43i
Photographer Valerio Berdini captured Japan's spectacular cherry blossom in all its glory.
The photos, taken in 2013, have been released ahead of the upcoming spring blossom, which begins each year at the end of March.
Valerio said: "Each year, thousands of people fill the parks to hold feasts under the flowering trees, and sometimes these parties go on until late at night. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolise 'clouds'. Due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality."

Historians uncover photos showing world's first children's slide constructed in 1922 in Wicksteed Park, Kettering, Northamptonshire, Britain - 16 Apr 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Geoffrey Robinson / Rex Features (1697590l)
Revealed: World's First Children's Slide
Historians have uncovered photos of the world's first children's slider, which was constructed 90 years ago from a plank of wood.
Girls and boys can be seen climbing the dangerously steep four-metre high ladder, then pushing themselves down the long wooden plank which has nothing to stop them falling off.
The primitive piece of play equipment was constructed in 1922 in Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire - the first park of its kind in the UK.
It was designed by owner Charles Wicksteed, who initially made slides for his park before going on to manufacture and sell them around the world.
"These days the health and safety brigade would have a fit if a slide like this was put in a children's playground," said national child play historian Linden Groves, whose research unearthed the photos.
"But in those days people took responsibility for themselves. If you fell off a slide and tore your trousers you would get a clip round the ear from your dad, not a six figure payout.
"Wicksteed's slide was a pioneering piece of play equipment and very popular with girls and boys as the pictures show."
The Wicksteed company catalogue for 1924 gives an illustration of the first slide and states that remarkably there were no accidents.
The description says: "The planks are faced with teak, and as this does not splinter it keeps a smooth glossy surface. The supposed wear and tear of the children's clothes does not take place.
"If the plank were not smooth the children could not slide down, and if it is smooth no wear takes place.
"It was at first thought that children would hesitate about climbing so high a ladder; this has proved to be quite a mistake, they go up without fear or trembling, and we have never had an accident of any sort, although tens of t...

Historians uncover photos showing world's first children's slide constructed in 1922 in Wicksteed Park, Kettering, Northamptonshire, Britain - 16 Apr 2012

Revealed: World's First Children's Slide
Historians have uncovered photos of the world's first children's slider, which was constructed 90 years ago from a plank of wood.
Girls and boys can be seen climbing the dangerously steep four-metre high ladder, then pushing themselves down the long wooden plank which has nothing to stop them falling off.
The primitive piece of play equipment was constructed in 1922 in Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire - the first park of its kind in the UK.
It was designed by owner Charles Wicksteed, who initially made slides for his park before going on to manufacture and sell them around the world.
"These days the health and safety brigade would have a fit if a slide like this was put in a children's playground," said national child play historian Linden Groves, whose research unearthed the photos.
"But in those days people took responsibility for themselves. If you fell off a slide and tore your trousers you would get a clip round the ear from your dad, not a six figure payout.
