Except it's Miyake-Jima, in Japan.https://io9.gizmodo.com/on-one-japanese-island-everyone-always-carries-a-gas-m-5876235 …

sorry but this is incorrect. the photograph was taken by Viktor Bulla and indeed depicts Young Pioneers in defence drill uniform. from what i understand, the gas-mask requirement on Miyake-jima was not imposed until recently.

Frightening, disturbing, fascinating, associated with eminent death and the terrors of war. This picture tells so many stories. And I love it, it’s a hate love relationship. It’s a fascinating photo, which I love, but also a sign of impending doom and war, which I hate. L/H

Agreed. You really summed it all up.

How to cook rat might have been more useful than gas mask drill

My particular heroes of the siege of Leningrad were the scientists who saved the seed bank, dying of starvation rather than eat their charges

I doubt the Japanese had Soviet trucks, Soviet uniforms and Soviet machine guns.

Also soviet pioneer's snare, and pioneer's tie.

Looks like they are out camping, and when I go camping, I eat beans. Lots of beans. So I can understand the necessity of the gas masks.
