A group of old photos of the Forbidden City in 1949 were sent to you. It was not as magnificent and beautiful as it is now
The photographer of this group is VladislavMikosha. In 1949, China and the Soviet Union formally established diplomatic relations, and the Soviet Union became the first country to recognize the People’s Republic of China. In that year, the Soviet Union sent a 17 person documentary film crew (including directors, photographers, recording and editing) to China to shoot and use the rare color film at that time. In 1949, Mikosa was invited to China with the Soviet film crew to shoot for 10 months. The main shooting scene was the founding ceremony on October 1. At the same time, she also went to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places to film the city’s cultural landscape
This group of old photos is the Forbidden City at that time
