Hopefully this will bring Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova closer together

the table is laid out with a simple breakfast.

The vodka bottle nails that aspect for realism.

Digging down through the older posts, it looks like she’s done some pre-revolutionary imagery, too.

They could be Lee Harvey Oswald & Marina Prusakova.

Genius but somehwat inaccurate. All the characters should have smoking filterless cigarettes between their fingers. :mask:

Cigarette reference is in the text! Specifically Ken has finished a “Prima” which is, however filtered. I guess they are not at the bottom rung of the ladder and don’t have to smoke “Belomorkanal”?

Also important to notice: the dual-colour paint job is more common in public areas and buildings and less in private residences. But again, the text explains that we’re looking at a “communal” kitchen; i.e a kitchen in a shared apartment or dormitory type residence.
