1981 in color photographs: how Soviet residents rested on the Black Sea

1981 can be called the real apogee of "stagnation", it was the last stage of the withering away of the Soviet political system. And only one bright spot warmed the souls of people who lived in the midst of all this growing social tension - rest "in the south." Warm up in the rays of the Black Sea coast, plunge into the salty waters of the Black Sea, improve your health in local resort sanatoriums - this is what helped Soviet people to rest and relax. In the early 80s, millions of Soviet citizens traveled to the Black Sea coast, most of which traveled here by train. Let's see how life went on in coastal cities at that time.
