Championship of the USSR in 1937. The first on the right (gestures) is the Moscow racer Ivanenko. Next to him is also a Muscovite Zhdanov.
P.S. The author of the photo is photographer Dovgyallo.
This guy is pretty amazing. Link is to his YouTube Channel. Interesting how he made a 4-cylinder Dnepr. Excuse the ads, but this is sort of, riveting!

A beautiful photo, with a very supportive crowd of onlookers, with a sidecar crew anticipating the race ahead. Wonderful.
