Another really cool shot of the same person, though not as high quality of an image

Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker "Lenin" followed by icebreaker "Yermak" traversing the Northern Sea Route, 1961
(hexbear.net)
Fun fact: Icebreaker Lenin was the world's first nuclear-powered ship that launched in 1957, exactly 40 years after the revolution. In 40 years the Soviets managed to go from an agrarian feudal state to harvesting the atom for power and just a few years after this ship was launched, traversing the cosmos. :)

Decorative tiles made by American and Soviet school children from the Seattle-Tashkent Peace Park in the former Uzbek SSR
(hexbear.net)
You can actually see a bunch of these tiles in Seattle's Tashkent Park still to this day, though they're not as well preserved as the ones in Tashkent which is a shame because a few of the ones I saw in pictures were really wholesome.

New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser automagically
(www.bleepingcomputer.com)
Long story short: That pop-up you get when you open Firefox (or whatever other browser) for the first time asking you if you want to make it your default browser won't work anymore. They're forcing you to go through their convoluted control panel where you have to change it like 20 times for each file extension.
