Lenin's portrate has nothing to do with the activity; it was probably hanging on most walls.

How long can kids stand like that? 5 minutes?

If they were a bit older, I'd say fighting acne.

Soviet video game. The image comes from the Soviet Pong national championship among children under eight, mixed doubles division. It was broadcast nationwide on the only TV channel, thus achieving a 100% Neilsen share. Notice also the height of Soviet fashion: each girl has a purple hat, though one size fits none, even at that age. Fashion choices were limited back then also; this outfit was called "summer." You can see why visiting tourists were often offered money for American jeans, or practically any long trousers. Shirts were only for children of commisars.

Bilirubin treatment? Bilirubin is a toxic compound made from the break down of hemoglobin. A light source in the range of 450 nm to 500 nm is used to photoisomerize Bilirubin so it can be excreted from the body and maintain the Bilirubin concentrations at safe levels?

This sounds likely.

Google's guess was "verkhoyansk coldest place on earth".

The eastern block did this.

My wife told me about it.

It's UV exposure to help with immunevsystem.

Warp drive for a model Starship Enterprise.

The answer is, per my Russian friend, that it's UV light to kill bacteria and to provide vitamin D.

to kill bacteria and to provide vitamin D

do I get full points then - tanning + acne?

20   HEY YOU   2016 Dec 6, 12:21pm  

I was hoping it was R & D voters making an attempt to see the light..
They would probably be wasting their time.
