Mass nostalgia: “give us back the past ...”

179
Once upon a time, when the words “gadget”, “wikipedia”, or “pin code” could have caused the desire to turn a finger at the temple; when over the phrases "blue car" or "blue puppy" no one has even thought to laugh; when, if they understood, it was for three that a country called the Soviet Union existed on the world map.

Even earlier, when the people were not yet aware of the fact that it was possible to stand in line for years for permission to purchase a new car; when the word “car” itself could be read except on newspaper sheets sold by boys for a few pennies; when even the big dignitaries did not use the blue flashing buckets in their carriages, there was another state that was called the Russian Empire.

It is human nature to indulge in nostalgia, but in stories States often have moments that can be called the time of mass nostalgia. In all likelihood, in our country of the pattern of time in which we now live, a tendency is manifested specifically towards the nostalgia of mass nature. Most of the population of our country, as shown by numerous sociological surveys, would like to turn back the clock and find themselves where it is impossible to be in reality. And if individual nostalgia most often concerns precisely the personal experiences of a person; experiences of a positive nature, the nostalgia is massive - this is a unique phenomenon. It may even be related to what a person, in principle, has no idea. This is a kind of sociological paradox, when the opinion of others suddenly becomes your own opinion, and you suddenly begin to understand that you would also like to live in a completely different time, well, or at least make sure that (nostalgic) time suddenly it has come not just into our life, but into the life of our entire state.

Mass nostalgia makes a person think about how well it was to live 30-40 years ago; how right everything was in our society a century and a half to that ... Stereotypes often lead us to try to include ourselves in that social process in which, for objective reasons, we were not even involved.

The man, which is quite characteristic of him by nature, is used to living, starting from comparisons. We literally compare everything that is now with what was yesterday, the day before yesterday, when we were not yet in this world. Some may prove themselves hoarse in their voices to themselves and to those around them that the Soviet time was much better than the time in which we live now. Others will be foaming at the mouth to say that modern life is a complete foolishness, whether it was before the Bolsheviks came to power ... And still others would say that if it were not for Nobel Prize winner Gorbachev, then we would have died in the outskirts of the universe, but all Soviet achievements are nothing compared to the achievements of democracy ...

Someone remembers with pleasure that in the days of his youth life was much better: one could get drunk on soda from a machine gun, by plunging a drilled coin into it, and then take it out carefully, one could be sure that the neighbor gets the same amount both you and this set the spirit of equality and internationalism; one could quietly go to relatives in Tbilisi or Lvov without even thinking about interethnic conflicts; it was possible to enroll in a technical school or institute and after their graduation guaranteed to get a job. In general, the trees were taller, the grass was naturally greener, and doctors and shop assistants were more caring and respectful ...

At the same time, the same people absolutely do not think that the current work allows them to have a car in the garage, which they bought without 10-year standing in line, to go annually on vacation to where they want, and not just to the country to weed the beds with cucumbers and eggplants. They do not think that, hiding behind different nicknames, they can calmly throw mud at the power, neighbor, boss, any interlocutor, and at the same time calmly declare that the Internet is a real cesspool that corrupts modern children and teenagers. The same person does not think about what comes to the store and has the opportunity to choose sausage either for 70 rubles per kilo with a complete lack of meat products, or for 700 rubles with their full presence ... He, looking out the window at the Communists marching 7 in November with the red ones with banners, frowning in disgust and declares, well, is it the Communists? “It was the communists under Brezhnev or Khrushchev, but now it’s like that — just a rag-tag

Maybe someone has a desire to condemn such a person, but in fact, this person sits in each of us. It breaks out when we see total injustice around us, when the tentacles of corruption do not allow us to get what we are supposed to do according to the law. He is the very thing, pardon the pathos, the “alter ego”, sitting deep, deep, and becoming active only when we begin to feel with all the fibers of our soul that problems are being pressed with incredible force.

At this very moment we are building the usual psychological defense, declaring to ourselves that it is not us who are, this time is. We are, they say, still hoo, but the time is now - ah-ah-ah ... And at that very moment that very nostalgia begins, which is a kind of religion of salvation for each of us. Someone decides that now with the tsar-father there would be no such lawlessness, that Stalin would be in his post now, they would (a kind of collective image “they”) dance with us, Leonid Ilyich would return for a couple of days and all our problems would be gone.

And after all, each of us perfectly understands that neither the king-father, nor Stalin, nor Brezhnev, nor the superhero from American comics, nor anyone else can solve our problems. But we are persecuting this thought from ourselves, trying to convince our inner “I” and all others that this is not so. We are waiting for the support of like-minded people who will also say: after all, correctly you, my friend, say: we need a collective image of the rulers of the past, who will appear in the form of the main savior of both ourselves and the whole of Russia. A sort of symbiosis of the rigidity of Ivan the Terrible, the focus on Europe of Peter the Great, the reformism of Alexander II, the pragmatism of Alexander III, the determination of Stalin, the political calm of Brezhnev, and more, more ... That would be such a person on the ballot, we would vote for him, and so - go to the polls, just spend time ... They say there will be such a person on the list for election - and we will be happy: and 7 ice cream kopecks, and Suvorov hikes through the Alps, and free thinking, and no queues, and their high-quality products instead of Chinese nd stuff, and, of course, equal to the fraternity. People will leave the doors open and not be afraid that someone will take their valuables, our army will again become invincible and legendary, and the nation will be the most reading (and not just SMS) in the world.

We understand that this is naive, and that the life of an entire country cannot be reversed, but in this we differ in mentality from Western “partners”. We have a childish, naive retro-dream, which sometimes allows us to rethink personal and social values ​​and to take a fresh look at ourselves and our role in the life of a large country. Let these retro-dreams come true and do not materialize, but they give us life energy, which is not clear to most other nations, the energy that has allowed millions of people of different nationalities to unite around a single rod.

    I almost fell asleep under this epistle of Mr. Volodin Alexei.
    Just like a bedtime story for those who have not yet gathered who lived in the very "nostalgia of the USSR

      Good morning everyone! Well, I looked at the site through the accidentally released "window", and here - a pleasant surprise from Alexey! It is strange that Mr. Inzhenegr managed to call him Vova.
      Andrey, salute. Chesslovo, surprised by your reaction to the article! The article is very sensible and is at least some attempt to explain such a thing as nostalgia for the USSR. This question has been taking me for a very long time and I was constantly surprised by the one-sided recollections of our country's past (very often far from rosy). Although I myself have repeatedly tried in my comments to explain this property of the human psyche. This is explained very simply - if a person remembered everything bad as vividly as he remembers good, then he would have long been disappointed in the life given to him by God and, over time, humanity simply came to the pointlessness of its existence and came to naught.
      But, thank God, the nature of man has a powerful physiological and psychic defense mechanism and - a person lives, rejoices, experiences, curses and continues to live ...
      Andrei, as "the most humane man" said, "the leader of the world proletariat" and "the sun of our era" (don't think what - I'm not talking about Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong-in or Kim Jong-un!) - "Terribly awful, my friend !. .. "- no need to rush to fall asleep! laughing The article is sensible and, although it will not stop the regularly appearing popular prints about an exceptionally (!) Successful state under the leadership of the wise Communist Party, it will at least make young people think, analyze and compare objectively, and not based on emotional outbursts.
      Colleagues, the topic of recollections about the USSR is very ambiguous (which Alexey very well said) and everyone evokes different memories, both positive and heavy, but I’m sure that the overwhelming majority who paint life in the USSR as an ideal in no way they wouldn’t return there if they had such an opportunity! And if they had returned, they would have torn today, knocking elbows and fists into the blood. Stopudovo! Because cognition is based on comparison and not verbal, but factual.
      Respectfully to all. Esaul.
      The article is a huge plus and respect to Alexey for a comprehensive approach to the topic.

        The article is not straightforward ... And the author of the article, I believe, was sure that + and - there would be many. Just because of the same as described in the article, namely, the perception of the past by each separately. The article is good, but I cannot agree with the author about everything. The man (state) himself chooses the further path of development - whether it is a return to the past, or something new. But in any case - there should be a clear idea of ​​what the state should be like for the vast majority of its population, and strict adherence to this path. I think the majority of those living now are nostalgic not for the USSR as such - but for a strong country, in order in power and society, for the moral values ​​that were in society. And all of this can and should be returned tightly by burning and etching all the dirt that we were brought in and we have produced ourselves over the past 23 years.

          but in a strong country,


          Maxim, greetings, colleague. And even now Russia is no longer one of the weak. It would be the opposite, Assad would have been dead long ago. Those who (sort of) oppose the USSR and the Russian Federation are trying to instill in us an understanding of today's Russia as an anemic and weak-willed temporary state formation. And they will climb the wall in order to slow down our growing forward movement. Therefore, the appearance of such articles with the subtext - "What we had and what we have ..." is largely due to those who ruined the USSR. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation won out and on-about the pusek stood up for their defense, guided by the principle - "in the struggle for power, you can go for betrayal."
          Quote: Pharao7766
          in order in power and society,

          You can talk about this with a big stretch, Maxim. And crime was both corruption and werewolves. Nothing has changed dramatically, information has become more accessible and not only party functionaries have gained access to cash flows.
          Quote: Pharao7766
          those moral values ​​that were in society

          Here I agree with you in many ways. If the culture is slowly beginning to restore, then with the most important thing - a national idea - stagnation. The other day Mironov put forward the slogan "for the title" of a unifying idea. Let's see how his "finds" take root.

            Valery, I welcome you.
            Well, you see, the topic of the collapse of the great Country is a completely different conversation.
            With the fact that Russia is no longer the US colony that was under Gorbachev and Yeltsin, but also not the strength of which the USSR was. And the opportunity to acquire power lies in many conditions of state development - one of the most important conditions is the unification of the once fraternal republics. You understand that first of all it is Ukraine and Belarus. But what with regards to the politicians of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, however, as well as the entire political "elite" - in my opinion - it's just a pitiful bunch of thieves and politicians parasitizing the country. And this, in my opinion, is the most important problem of our countries!

            "Mafia is forever" of course.
            But in the USSR they fought this and did not pretend. And for economic crimes shot (with confiscation).

            And about moral values ​​and Mironov ... together they do not look.
            By the way, the Russian Federation daviche introduced and dragged a similar document to the Soviet Union without a UN. What is no reason to extrapolate it to Russia, taking into account the mentality and traditional people living in it.

        I don’t know what the USSR did not please you, but everyone with whom I talked would all dream to return, then a simple working man did not think about tomorrow, that tomorrow you might not have a piece of bread, there was stability and this is the main argument and is overshadowing all the shortcomings of the USSR, whatever one may say to a simple hard worker in the councils, life was many times better than now, and this is 90% of the country

          Sergei, apparently you had to form your opinion with the words of others. And about the objectivity of human memories, it seems, in my comment says. The topic touched upon by the article is not grateful, multifaceted, and the discussion, as practice has shown, on the site will not lead to anything sensible, but will only make it possible to release excess steam.
          As for your words, quoted by me as a quote, on my side in this matter, not everything is clear. I also have a lot of memories connected with the Union, and they are not always negative. But I have the opportunity (age allows) to make some comparisons. So your minus is the reaction that I was quite expecting, my colleague is not at all offensive to me, but it is regrettable that you were in a hurry to form your opinion about the USSR, taking it for the final one.

            Well, the main opinion was formulated to me by the fact that my grandfather, working at the same factory on which I am right now, received 450 rubles (you must admit a lot of money at that time) the working conditions were ideal compared to the fact that right now, all the equipment then changed during the first breakdown, right now we haven’t received any equipment since 88, all equipment has a seam at the seam, several accidents per year are normal, my grandfather told them that there was no runoff for five years as now, but in the days of the USSR I was still a salaga)))) but the stories of simple hard workers at my factory who have been working there for 40 years already gave me an idea of ​​those times, 5 years ago let's say the market was saturated with aluminum and we had 8 out of 12 stoves, so the salary suffered a lot, many people didn't pay on loans they could, in the USSR this could not happen, right now that the military budget was raised, aluminum became in demand on the domestic market, work went on, but for how long is this also a question

I remember how a huge, green jeep appeared in a toy store, with turning wheels, a hinged windshield and glass headlights - it was a miracle embodied in green plastic about 5 rubles and my mother categorically refused to buy it. I had to take bottles from under the lemonade, but after two months I himself bought it.
                Yes, it is possible that the USSR was not an ideal state, or rather it was not, but what it is degenerated - Many times worse and duller, despite the opportunity to buy a car. You can now buy everything at once, but it seems that a part of our soul was taken from us for this, apparently a large one.

        the dreams of an immature society, when a person does not want to be responsible for his life and the life of his family, including, the USSR was very fond of its citizens, and its children never matured, remained consumers of parental warmth, and when the USSR grew old, its children did not they wanted to help him, but started a squabble for his inheritance ... from here this nostalgia of those who were more cunning and cold-blooded were thrown out of their parents' house and took away all the wealth that once ... when the USSR was alive it was COMMON ...

          How often? Some years are not enough for "aged"
          But the burden of accumulated errors had to be dumped. But those same "parents" just did not want this. As a result, mistakes began to prevail and ENEMIES, both external and internal, took advantage of them. They united to destroy both the country and the people who are the bearers of the "USSR gene" !!!!

        Good afternoon, Mr. Esaul.
        I apologize for "Vova", I have not visited our glorious site for a long time and, moreover, I have not read the articles of the respected Mr. Alexey Volodin, I was just mistaken, of course Alyosha.
        Why shame Andrei YAROGO? His "personal opinion" does not depend on the employer's money, like yours, for example.
        In general, I believe that such articles should not appear on the site of a reputable journal. A magazine on military subjects should not humiliate itself with "USSR" articles. And if your hands itch on the USSR, compare the army of the USSR in all respects and the army of the Russian Federation. That would be a military theme.

        Oddly enough, the article reveals a crafty subtext of the desire to obscure and reduce to "everyday life" the growing desire among the masses to unite and restore the independence of the once united country. The people are not nostalgic about the "soda" but about independence from our American teachers and part-time owners.

      G. Yary, do you want those who lived in the USSR to gather? So I understand your pearl? If so, then you are a typical representative of modern youth, cynical to a stupor, who considers yourself almost the best example of humanity. If you have nothing bad about people who have lived most of their lives in the USSR, then formulate your thought more precisely. I didn't like becoming either. What's wrong with nostalgia? And specifically for the past. Yes, who likes the Russian Empire before 1917. Alas, the people who lived then, and who can tell about that life, are no longer alive. My generation caught them. These are our grandparents who were born in the 19th century. And we have an idea of ​​that life. For example: my maternal grandmother came from a family of small landowners who had land, livestock, farm laborers, and my grandfather, in turn, "took Winter", that is, participant in the revolution. My grandparents on my father's side were priests (grandfather of course). I listened to stories from different, so to speak, angles. In some ways they are diametrically opposite, in some ways similar. In turn, our generation is well aware of life in the USSR. We lived, served, got married, gave birth to children in the USSR. And we have only warm feelings about this country, and all the rubbish about the lack of sausage and meat fades into the background.

    From birth (1984) to 1991, we lived in the center on ul. Serebrynikovskaya 9. I walked there, and now tram number 13 runs, and the street itself is in two lanes (two there, two well), and so, from various city events, we walked along this street. I have a mother and a grandmother near my father’s neck. So we did not walk along the sidewalk, namely, along the roadway and cars passing us passed around us. Not because we were on the drum where to go, but because there were one or two cars and it got too big. And now? There is no where to fall on that very Serebrynikovskaya apple. Here.

    We understand that this is naive, and that the life of an entire country cannot be reversed, but that’s how we differ in mentality from Western “partners”. We have a childish naive retro dream, which sometimes allows us to rethink personal and social values ​​and take a fresh look at ourselves and our role in the life of a big country
    Why is it a childhood dream. All that is necessary to nationalize the enterprises extracting and processing natural resources. All profits, huge profits, will be directed not to the members of the "family" but to the state. How many projects then the state can implement. Social programs: free medicine, education, affordable housing ..... And how can you quickly re-equip the army with these funds, then you can start a real reform and re-equip the troops with new equipment. However, such transformations will cause rage on the part of our sworn "capitalist friends" the very existence of a huge socialist state undermines their foundation And this will inevitably lead to attempts to change power in Russia from abroad by any means, not a feigned attempt to change power as it is now, but a real one with economic blockades and an arms race, creating a real internal opposition.

    In essence, I don’t want to argue especially.
    But it seems to me that this is not from the ephemeral need for nostalgia as such, but in the absence of a unifying idea.
    We need it. With it, black stale bread is tastier and holey boots are warmer and more comfortable. We need a great goal, a unifying idea.
    So we are looking for it wherever possible, and the simplest is to look in the past. After all, our past gives us reason to be proud of them. So we are fetching from history how seine fishermen have everything you can poke your finger at and say - that’s how good it was then.
    The national idea of ​​"global consumption", which the United States and Europe has embraced with a bang, has not passed and will not pass. We need creativity, creativity and material results of our national labors.
    I remembered for some reason this particular joke.

    - Well, you yourself said that two a, Tatar, Buryats, Georgians and Latvians served with you. And like everything was hurt.

The stratification of society is too great. And even if such an idea appears, will you personally be ready to believe in it? Look back: Our ancestors, by their labor, sweat and blood, built a powerful state, postponing their happiness until tomorrow (remember the slogan: "Our children will live better than us!") Magnitka, BAM, Bratskaya HPP, Dneproges, Volga-Don canal ... So what? Labor results whole generations assigned by very specific people.

          Who is nostalgic about? Massively, in addition?

          Youth is remembered. Childhood. Carelessness.

As for free housing, my family (father of a miner) got 3 apartments in three years. The first was a two-room apartment . After a year, odnushka, and when I was born they got a kopeck piece. Cities in the 70s were built whole and not separate houses.

The fact is that the locals apparently did not need jeans - a joke. And in the village they had a timber industry and this kind of goods were not unusual there.

In co-op trading, all this was sold at a state price such as exchange for agricultural products, only in the village they didn’t take them much, where they went to the arable land or a farm in sneakers kirzachi is handy. And because it was quite realistic to buy, nobody really suffered from the clothes. And to eat in rural canteens at 50-60 cents was quite real.

    The most important thing that ordinary people are nostalgic for, if we take the USSR, was that there was confidence in the future (I certainly don’t take into account the times of the general secretary of the traitor Gorbachev - this is generally material for the investigation). Confidence that tomorrow you will not be kicked out of work, not thrown out of the apartment, earned money will not depreciate, etc. I grew up in a poor working-class family, I didn’t live very well, but I remember this confidence of adults well.

    I always remember the 70s-80s only on the good side. I will try to be objective. There were queues for bread and milk, there were. After school, my duty was to go to the store for bread and milk, I went, stood, took a veteran who couldn’t take to my family and neighbor walk. Bread and milk were enough for everyone. In the village my grandmother imported bread 3 times a week. A horse-drawn box-van traveled, took bread in bags. Peasants fed them cattle. The quality of bread was much better than in the city. There was a shortage of light industrial goods. I managed to buy the very first jeans in Moscow in the 80s for 110 rubles, but it was MONTANA and not modern Chinese-Turkish consumer goods. At school, the seller’s favorite teachers were the children of the sellers. In the shops, I met my teachers leaving the back door with bags full of bags. One of my classmates, the son of a saleswoman, couldn’t write anything on geometry exams in grade 10. They called me to the blackboard. Serge , draw a circle. He takes chalk, draws something. Draw a square. Draws, but with a ruler. Go three. After the army, he went to work in the police, now he is a major !!! In a military school, I ran into army dubiousness. They really rolled square, dragged round. But these were flowers in comparison with the troops.
    But there was a downside. There was a reinforced concrete belief that after graduating from school the state would need me. I will have a job, an apartment or a house, I will receive free medical care and my children, if not lazy, are guaranteed to receive secondary and higher education. If if the enemy attacks us, this very wooden army instantly transformed and became the most combat-ready army in the world, armed at that time with military equipment that was in no way inferior to the technology of a probable enemy. It is worth mentioning the profession of an officer in the times of the USSR, 3-4 people from our school of class always went to military schools. Of my class, 7 people became army officers, half of the guys.

    2. For some reason, I am nostalgic for the times of the USSR, but with horror I recall the EBN years. Although I was 20 years old and my whole life was ahead, and even student time!
    3. The whole country went on vacation just under the USSR, but not now
    4. Say neither the tsar father nor Stalin can return the "good old days"? And I say - CAN. You only need two things. The first is to decide again that we are a COLLEGE people and not selfish. Those. the minimum set of rights for a citizen is free education, medicine and the simplest housing, even if only for a family, not for a person. No money left? Take what the oligarchs were given for free. I don't believe that a country with 40% of the world's resources divided by 2% of the population has no money. Second, it is clear to say that we are screwed by crap, we are a society of traditional values. No homosexuals, no free porn, no juvenile justice.

Having received my salary and vacation pay at that time, I calmly got on the train with my wife and daughter 9 Irkutsk-Moscow also went on vacation.

        In the 80's, the dockers from the Dudinka seaport had a trick: on Saturday to get a ticket to Moscow, they arrived in the morning, had a beer in the bar or in the pub for a walk and returned home by night flight. The ticket cost 54 rubles to Moscow, the salary of the docker in the port 500-600 rubles, a tavern you yourself understand more than 50 didn’t leave a person. That’s how they lived. It’s not in Bukhara, but in opportunities, and now a ticket to Moscow is 20-25 thousand, and the salary is 35 thousand rubles.

    Nostalgia for the past may be a pleasant experience for someone, but it is absolutely unproductive. Personally, I am much more pleased to dream about the future, and not about the past. Set achievable goals and achieve their fulfillment. Do what you can, and what happens is destined. And you will be happy. If it doesn’t work, try again or change direction.
    And to indulge in dreams of the past is the lot of losers. For these dreamers of the impossible nothing happened in the past and nothing will come of the future.

I remember how my parents "got" food in different ways - sometimes in queues, sometimes in district committee buffets, "squinting" under a local party worker ... In the queue myself, I remember, I stood for 6 hours for an air ticket. The girls were beautiful and chaste good

    Hello! Everyone is right here in their own way. And as always there are two sides of the coin. Yes, there were queues in the union, a deficit of everything and everyone, aging gene seki carrying nonsense about the fact that "the economy should be economical", the iron curtain, with its fucking kinks, yes, there was a lagging "morally not aging" electronics, car industry, etc. .d. BUT! There was pride in their army, the state guaranteed old age not in poverty, free high-quality education, free medicine, respect for elders, a low crime rate (who remembers, the police are not even that the PM, the batons did not wear it, for the most part part, respected), people were many times more responsive and welcoming, more united. There was a lot of good and bad, personally I have nostalgia for the good, for that which modern Russia, to my great regret, lacks.

Youngsters did not smoke in the streets for fear of PUBLIC opinion. In that country there was a FAMILY institute and free menicin.

    Ba-a. Mr. Volodin got involved in philosophy. Most commendable. True, the philosopher Diogenes was content with a barrel. And Volodin cannot think of philosophy without a car in the garage and sausages in the store. Well, here everyone has their own philosophy. Somewhat spoils (in my opinion) the depth of philosophical views is the following quote: "At the same time, the same people do not at all think that their current job allows them to have a car in the garage, which they bought without waiting in line for 10 years, go on vacation there every year where they want, and not just to the dacha for weeding the beds with cucumbers and eggplants.Do not think about the fact that, hiding behind different nicknames, they can calmly throw mud at the authorities, a neighbor, a boss, any interlocutor and at the same time calmly declare that the Internet - this is a real cesspool that corrupts modern children and adolescents. The same person does not think about what comes to the store and has the opportunity to choose sausage either at 70 rubles per kilo with a complete absence of meat products, or 700 rubles with their full presence. " When Mr. Volodin talks about work that allows him to buy a car and a garage, he probably means his fees. I'm very happy for him. However, the majority of the population, alas, cannot afford this, and purchasing on credit in the complete absence of confidence that you will not be thrown out of the gate tomorrow is bondage. Moreover, bondage is not only from the bank, but also from the employer, who doesn’t think much of you anyway, and upon learning about your loan will cut your salary, realizing that you have no way out and you will stay for less money. Further. If we throw mud at it, then the Internet is still a cesspool, and there is no sophistry here. But the trouble is, at least on this site, the authorities are not sling mud, but talk about its very specific sins before the people. The truth is, according to the saying, about looking for dirt in specific facts. And lastly, welcoming the author's craving for philosophy, I would like to continue in which he would reflect (not in general phrases about prosperity) how he sees the society of the future, but at the same time predicted how long those who buy sausage for 70 rubles will support those who buy it for 700, and then it will all end.

    In fact, everything is simple. For all its shortcomings, the USSR was a strong country that actively intervened in world politics, and which could not be ignored.
    Everything else is secondary.

    It is more pleasant to be strong than weak, or, more precisely, formerly strong. That's why this nostalgia. And behind it all the rubbish and dullness that were. Thieves' medicine, terrible service, shortage, the inability to go somewhere outside the country, Scoop - all the negative is erased by the only one: "We used to be strong." Life in the past, where there is one war - the Great Patriotic War, where there is one machine gun - Kalashnikov, where there is one space - Soviet.

    And any attempt on one of the shrines, a reminder that they fought not only in the USSR, that AK is a product of the middle of the last century, and Americans flew to the moon, often causes such convulsions with drooling that it’s scary to look at people.

    In Russia, they did not learn how to live in the present and future, unfortunately, they still live in the past here. Probably, only when the understanding comes that veterans - this applies to participants in other wars, and remembering the past, we should not forget about the future, in Russia they will stop nostalgic and finally begin to live.

                You confuse me with someone again. Especially with the Discovery channel, which is hardly an authoritative source, it’s too much mess. I don’t go into tank themes much, it’s Kars’s chip.

                Although the story you are talking about took place, at least according to German documents. From the presentation of the Hauptsturmfuhrer Heinrich Kling to the Golden German Cross it was said:

                "He immediately began to pursue the enemy. Not paying attention to the danger, he led the tank group forward, after which he was able to capture the vicinity of the hill to the west of Prokhorovka. Our tank wedge deepened 60-70 kilometers in the enemy's position. In two days of fighting, his company destroyed fifty T-34s and one KV-1 and one KV-2. Hauptsturmführer Kling himself made a great contribution to this success, knocking out nine enemy tanks. "

                The fact is fixed, and he did not meet refutations. In 1943, the Tiger that Kling fought on did everything. But Soviet tanks were promptly amended; the T-34-85 did not just appear. In particular, to fight the Tigers, which were difficult at the initial stage to oppose something. However, in the Soviet army of that wartime, they studied very quickly.

In the famous battle at Ville-Bocage on 13 on June 1944, where Wittmann's skill and technical superiority of the Tiger tank over the Allied vehicles were clearly manifested, he spent 15 minutes on his Tiger No. 222 (which he transferred at the last minute due to engine failure in its Tiger No. 205) destroyed 11 tanks, 2 anti-tank guns and 13 armored personnel carriers, completely defeating the intelligence of the 7-th British armored division. IN ONE BATTLE. ONE TANK. In total, the Germans destroyed 25-26 tanks, and 20 armored personnel carriers.

                        The fact that the British managed to knock out 6 tigers was due to the "Sherman Firefly - Sherman II C" - a tank with the same increased caliber as the T-34-85, which was not available in 1943.

                        Learn the story. Our grandfathers pulled out a huge blood victory, with their teeth. And they did not throw enemies with caps.

                        Sasha, moderate your tone, I highly recommend that you didn’t drink to the Brudershaft, and in one armored personnel carrier they didn’t undermine.

                        Who will I lobby for foreign technology and why? Here?
                        The lobbying of the equipment is carried out not on Internet gatherings, but with uncles in suits, in the city of Moscow, in the offices of Moscow Region, the Kremlin and the White House. And not only. Are you yelling about kickbacks on foreign equipment - but are you aware that kickbacks in the country are easier to do, at Russian companies? And they are regularly made. Like generals, governors, etc. scroll multi-million dollar circuit, in the know?

                        I do not lobby for foreign equipment, I am not an employee of Elbit Maarakhot or Rafael or Iveco. If I was doing this, it would not be here. I lobby for the lives of soldiers. Because on September 5, for example, a military convoy in Ingushetia was blown up - and six people died there.

                        I don’t care what kind of life label is on the product. If Russia doesn’t know how to do something or does it badly, after the sleeves is not something to be proud of.

                        You can be proud of Kalashnikov a hundred times. But what is offered in the form of AK-12 smells like 80-mi years of the last century. Shamans can be a hundred times a military general - which does not negate the fact that he organized gang raids for the band-in-law’s factory with the help of special forces soldiers of the Airborne Forces, washed grandmothers in the governor’s position, and now they are shoving the obsolete BMD-4M even before the release, which will become a coffin for soldier
                        There are normal firms that produce a normal Russian quality product. The same Orsis. The same corporation Protection - the only test for the demolition conducted. You advocate for the Tiger as if you are working in the Deripaska holding. If there are holes, they should not be plugged with shit, but with a normal plug until their own normal counterpart appears. Use German snipers - and rightly so! This made it possible to develop the T-5000. The life, and not the life of the soldiers, is important to you. This is a betrayal of them and all my friends that Chechnya and the rest of the Caucasus passed here

Regarding BMD4, well, I suppose you are much smarter than Shamanov and know better what the Airborne Forces need at present. Considering how various foreign equipment burns in various conflicts, there is no absolute protection, there are better options, there are inferior, but factories and production are military equipment must be in Russia, right up to the last bolt, because, as NATO will not send us spare parts in case of conflict !!!

                        Sasha. Those purchases that were made for the Moscow Region in Russia did not lead to the benefit of individuals? Up to 50% of rollbacks on average you do not want, or even more. I made friends in these kitchens. In Russian.
                        Now in the development of one and a half dozen machines that were supposed to appear 7-10 years ago. They will pass the tests and go through the series in 2014-2015. And then - while the series normally accelerates. You suggest all this time to ruin the soldiers, as I understand it?

                        I believe that Shamanov is pushing the project of his friends, because the BMD-4M stands like a tank, and it is being developed by the Tula State Unitary Enterprise "KB Instrument Engineering", which has no pie in Kurganets. If he really wanted to increase the combat capability, then seeing that there is a refusal, he would have pushed through the modernization of the existing machines, with the installation of the Bakhcha-U module. Apparently, he knows very well what the Airborne Forces needs, once at certain moments he sends the special forces of the airborne assault on a gangster showdown.

Amer, and many others, did not hesitate to buy their own, while simultaneously mastering their development. And such an approach dramatically reduced losses.

                        Yeah. Only this is all beautiful in theory. But in practice, they continue to shoot at 80's technologies. Machines arriving at plants like Izhmash are standing. Twitching with mine protected machines - and indeed - began when competitors appeared.
                        There is no this topic - we will quickly copy. It’s a dead end. Part of the technology has to be bought very expensive. In Russia at the moment there is not too much. For example, modern helmet-mounted sights are purchased in France, in Israel and France - matrices for thermal imagers (and along the way they are trying to master their production).

                        AND? They were not there? Met, surfaced by your efforts once again, and wildly illiterate, began to laugh at a specific battle. Heh, like, this has never happened. It happened, unfortunately. As there have been reverse stories. for example, with the KV-1 tank, in which senior lieutenant Zinovy ​​Kolobanov (1-I tank division), in one battle of 20 on August 1941 of the year (the post-war journalism mistakenly mentioned the date of 19 on August) near Gatchina (Krasnogvardeisky) destroyed 22 German tanks and two anti-tank guns. And it was. But we take a specific situation with the operation of the Tigers company, which for three days in 1943 burned 60 of Soviet tanks because Met, once again waving his cap, raised this question, like - it wasn’t. Which degrades the memory of our grandfathers, who fiercely fought with a skilled and evil adversary, who more than once - especially in the middle of the war - acted on machines that were much better than ours.

                        There was everything, but in spite of this you again go your own way — their technique was much better. The same 2 was better than German cars.

I repeat once again - a specific situation was considered in which the Met laughed at the fact that "like the Germans could destroy 10 Soviet tanks with 60 tanks." I gave an example that yes - they could. That did not prevent the opposite situations from happening.

Not paying attention to the danger, he led the tank group forward, after which he was able to capture the vicinity of the hill to the west of Prokhorovka. Our tank wedge deepened 60-70 kilometers in the enemy's position. In two days of fighting, his company destroyed fifty T-34s and one KV-1 and one KV-2.

        It's funny Do you remember Soviet medicine? She was nominally free. To get a normal medicine or to get to a normal doctor was worth the big dibs and connection. Nothing has changed, only it has become apparent.
        About issuing a passport - it's great. Only you hardly remember the time when, in order to travel to socialist Bulgaria, it was necessary to list the leaders of its revolution and recall several members of the political bureau. The whole topic with a passport, which once in a while is getting faster and faster, is a kindergarten compared to this.
        Do you remember residence registration in hotels? Unlikely. Otherwise, they would remember how they had to pay a bribe then to settle in a room with a non-wife, for example

        Garbage and dullness - this is how they did not change, but remained. Like a good one. About what the office plankton is today they just don’t say - it was he who voluntarily went out to extinguish the fires.

            And I don’t argue with that. Although when she called an ambulance here a couple of times, she came for me for 10-15 minutes (which, according to Western standards, is a bit much, by the way - but there is an extra charge for an ambulance).

          You're not right. Medicine was indeed free. All this paid crap began to appear in our country after 1985, when, with perestroika and new thinking on the wave of cooperation, paid medical centers were opened, and then in ordinary hospitals, they slowly began to think, "why are we worse?"
          And then there are state medicines, we don’t need to buy anything ourselves, there were enterprising ...
          So I personally, until 1985-86 I don’t remember paid medicine absolutely.

About how we, the Magadans, dumped money right at the airport to buy a ticket to a fellow countryman who managed to squander everything on vacation in the summer :) And then this fellow countryman ran for everyone for 2-3 months to pay off his debt. About how we did not lock the doors for the New Year and anyone went to visit anyone. About how we guys at the age of 15-16 worked as loaders in a store and we were paid about 200 rubles a month for this! A ticket Magadan-Moscow cost 160 rubles. About how Metallica came to the Rock on the Barricades in 1991 and a bunch of Magadan teenagers, collecting all her pocket money flew to Moscow .... About how we bought beer drawers, about insanely delicious ice cream ... About the fact that there were no rich and poor, no one showed off clothes in front of anyone at school, because there was a uniform school uniform. About the kindness, warmth and moral purity of people ... of course, there was certainly debauchery, etc., but we, children, have not seen these nasty things. I had my first woman at the age of 19 and she later became my wife. And our girls-classmates began to "acquire" guys already in institutes. I’m telling all this, they don’t believe me, but then their parents tell these guys the same thing. Many of our young people are ready to build Soviet society again, so hang on, you freaks-shit. You don't have much time left. And you die, so your children will answer

    and how not to nostalgia ... as a child in the hospital the doctors did not extort a bribe, and now the child was lying on the table, and the surgeon and the anostasiologist asked 10 thousand.
    dad was an engineer, mom worked at the factory .. lived in a communal apartment, I was born, gave a kopeck piece. ..now working at the plant for 20 years of bondage to the bank through a mortgage.
    strangely enough, they didn’t starve in the USSR, for some reason I didn’t grow dystrophic. I was gaining weight properly .... I was eating meat and sausage .. yes there was no kiwi, but because of it the country wasn’t ruining.
    Yes, there was no car, but by public transport I reached where I needed no traffic jams and for a penny.
    about safety on the street I’m not talking.
    a good socially oriented country ruined because of Vidic jeans and sneakers?
    but you must agree, you could go another way ...

      I'm talking about a country in which man is friend to man. When he told his daughters, he looks like a storyteller

      I will not recall my childhood, youth, youth now - since this is repeating what has already been said before me, exactly the same, because we lived at the same time and in the same country. And with the meaning of the article, everything is understood and accepted. Questions arise when you read comments. The question is: who prevents us, ordinary citizens, from treating on the basis of a person to a person - a friend, or at least a person ... In the articles and discussions on the site, sometimes you see such "friendship" that God forbid, you find yourself in the hands of someone who is discussing firearms , that and ... I'm not talking about rudeness, rudeness and insults are often met ... And where do those who are at the helm of states? It is we who are "talking", and not they are directing us .. Someone already in their rage comes to statements that children should be responsible for the guilt of their fathers - this is generally "the height of humanism" ... So it seems that the guilty will be dealt with or not will have time, but the children will surely answer ... Regarding the fact that the country was destroyed because of jeans, video cameras and sneakers, the question arises, so why did we buy videotapes, put on sneakers and jeans (although then we lived not richly and not it was so easy) - and now it is no longer a sign of prosperity ... I mean that we all were and are participants in the historical period in which we lived and live ... We go to the polls, we work ... easier from what we will only do, what to say about how great it was, but we were "thrown", arguing until hoarse, sometimes swearing ... We seem to be looking through glass ... And the children tell us how at the top in the quote it is written that we are like storytellers for them ... Sometimes in our memories we forget that we had our own fairy tale, and our youth , our children, born 20 years ago, live in a different world, in their own fairy tale. I wonder what they will say about their youth in 30-40 years?

    If the people have such nostalgia, why not revive the USSR and live in a superpower in which everyone was kinder and everything was better (except for queues for sausage, but in my opinion only idiots can call this a serious flaw)
