Locals line the roadside to greet the participants of the 1987 American Soviet Peace Walk from Leningrad to Moscow, Russia.
The poster reads: "Hi to the participants of the Walk for Peace!" Not sure where it was taken but looks like a rural road in-between some towns on the way.
The boy on the left is sporting a school uniform jacket standard across Soviet schools at the time.
The girl in the middle holds a traditional symbol of Russian hospitality: a tray with home-made bread covered by "рушник" (rooshnik), a decorated towel.
Such towels often feature ornaments unique to a particular locale, such as a village or region, and have deep symbolic significance and motifs borrowing from nature, religion, and folklore.
The kids are flanked by the ever-present detail of babushkas -- elderly ladies, who to this day tend to make up the demographic majority of rural Russia -- a sight that echoes to the time of World War 2, which consumed a large portion of what would have been "retirement-age" male population at the time of the Walk.
