Soviet sculpture is truly fantastic, and I knew the FED was going to have to record a few... so here's a bunch, all to be seen in Moscow. At left is the memorial to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, whilst below are the sculpture at the Cosmonaut Museum, the sculpture outside the gates of the former "Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy" (my favourite, entitled The Worker and Collective Farm Girl, designed by Vera Mukhina 1889 -1953) and finally an unknown sculpture in the garden of fallen monuments, whose sentiment I just like.
The FED proved very usable and although only one roll of film was exposed in Russia, it returned 30 good pictures. The quality of these rebuilt FEDs is variable however, and if you are expecting to use one we would suggest a conventional silver topped and un-rebuilt example, as these rebuilt types are primarily intended for display, our example works fine but did require some time in the workshop to sort it out.
