An artist from the Russian city of Yekaterinburg transported the iconic dolls back in time to the USSR.
Artist Lara Vychuzhanina uses the iconic American dolls, Barbie and Ken, to construct elaborate miniature set pieces of domestic life in the late Soviet era.
“Ken is looking fairly stern, it must be said, as he sits at a table complete with vodka, cigarettes, and a Pravda newspaper.”
