Photo of a group of decorated female WW2 veterans marching in a 1 May or 9 May (V-Day) parade in Soviet Georgia, circa 1970s-80s.
Measures 9" x 6", printed on high-gloss photo paper. The photo presents the front rows of a demonstration procession - most likely on 1 May or 9 May - of decorated WW2 veterans, employees of GRUZVINMASH (Russian acronym for "Georgian Vine-Making Machinery"), a plant manufacturing machinery and equipment for vine-making, one of Georgia's leading industries. Perhaps the most impressive is that the entire front row of the procession are highly decorated female veterans! A subtle reminder that nearly half a million Soviet women were drafted from 1941 to 1945 to fight in the Great Pat

The photo is in very good to excellent condition. There is minimal wear to the emulsion, visible only when the photo is tilted to reflect a bright light, and virtually invisible when looking at a normal viewing angle. None of the wear to the emulsion reaches the paper under it. The verso is mostly clean, showing just one smear. There are some handwritten notations in Georgian, in ballpoint pen, made lightly enough not to press through to show on the obverse.
Please note that the medal in our photo is for size reference.
