14 photos taken in the 50s in the USSR by an American who was sent for espionage

Major American Army Martin Manhoff, by virtue of circumstances, found himself in the USSR in the 50s of the last century. He had with him a camera and color film - satellites, with whom he did not part for an hour. Manhoff filmed continuously and for a long time tested the patience of the special services that followed his every step with his wife. As a result, in 1954, the American was deported from the Soviet Union on charges of espionage. His journey through the USSR is over, but photographs continue to live to this day. Let's see what Mr. Manhoff saw in the Soviet expanses during one of the most difficult periods for the state.
