Photo report from the USSR half a century ago. Soviet life in the lens of John Schulz

At the end of the 50s, foreign photographer John Schulz, as part of his European trip, arrived in the Soviet Union. In those years, foreign tourists in our country could be rarely met, and professional photographers from behind the hill were completely rare. That is why the pictures taken by Schultz using high-quality photographic equipment are of particular interest today. And every year historical the value of the frames depicting the everyday life of the USSR of the 1958 model will only grow - after all, memories tend to fade, family photo archives turn yellow, age and become worthless, and these high-quality images still look as if they were shown in a red room just yesterday! But quality is a secondary matter, and the plot always comes to the forefront in this kind of photographs - and here Schultz cannot be blamed for triviality or lack of professionalism in any way. His lens manages to capture a tennis duel between the girls and a rich (apparently manufacturing) feast in the metropolitan restaurant, beach vacationers in inconspicuous swimsuits and an air parade in Tushino, the entourage of the Moscow museum and store shelves with prehistoric TVs sold at very “bite” prices, tram walks in Moscow streets and much more. The selection turned out to be bright, symbolic, and in all respects talented - as you can see firsthand in the blog "Generation Diary"!

What kind of exotic model is this in the photo?

[Sashkessss]

The Leningrad car built by A. Babich in the city of Leningrad in 1956.
A V-shaped 3,5 liter engine from GAZ-12 (ZIM) with a power of 90 hp is installed on the car.
The maximum speed of this car was 130 km / h which for 1956 was very decent.

[STALGRAD76]

Can anyone throw a link to read about this device?

Yes, this is a flint machine with such an attitude. it is a stone towards foreign cars. because our car is even very good. somewhere, even in front. Yes, the Western auto industry has just steamed up some show-offs and prices in front. Well, have cars become better to ride? no. cars how they drove so they go. here lomatsa more often gasoline more expensive, etc. etc.

[Osnaz]

dear Sashkess, if my memory serves me right, a six-cylinder in-line engine was installed on the ZIM, as on the GAZ-51, but with a two-chamber carburetor.

[Basarev]

The car looks just great! Now any collector with his hands will tear it off!

[0255]

The Leningrad car built by A. Babich in the city of Leningrad in 1956.

I thought it was a foreign car of a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU)))

Tray selling soda with the inscription "KHARCHOTORG"
Do you remember children's cars with a pedal drive? God, how happy I was when my father brought me one from Sverdlovsk! Iron is thicker than on other modern "Koreans"! The whole yard rolled on it, including the girls!

[Igor39]

Everything has changed, but the roads are the same ...

[vladsolo56]

It’s not true in 60 years that I remember there were no potholes in the streets, I remember from childhood, at least where I lived, special brigades removed sand even from the carriageway, and even the sidewalks were perfectly clean. People had no habit of throwing trash under their feet.

[Basarev]

It was filmed, apparently, in Ukraine - since a vending machine with the inscription Kharchotorg

[Siberian German]

Of course, the Kremlin at the studio

[Fitter]

This is "Zhiguli", and I had this "Neva", I "bellowed" it from my mother, she even borrowed from a friend right in the store :)

Eh ...

[Grandson of Veteran]

"This is a Zhiguli, and I had"
And all my childhood years I was sure that I was driving "Moskvidos"!

[Combitor]

<Veteran's Grandson Yesterday, 22:04 pm ↑>
In the photo it is "Moskvich". The AZLK emblem is on the "lattice".
And I liked the other photo.
I was born later. But the counters littered with designers of various kinds found. I also didn’t have any at home. The main details were all made of metal. There was even an electrical designer. They themselves assembled simple electric motors and various mechanisms. But any kid could fix the socket himself or hammer a nail.

[Anubis Gorynych]

my mother was going to buy a large metal constructor for 100 rubles for many years (the average salary in the early 80s). As a result, regularly buying small sets, perhaps my parents collected a designer for me a larger volume than promised. I agree on the account of boyish skills!

[Edward]

God grant many years to your mother. It’s good that you can still specify the price. You accidentally added one toe. Believe me, 10 rubles at that time is already a condition for buying toys.

[Gav-111]

Thanks for the photo, I shed a lot of tears! Immediately I remembered how I "drove" on it for hours on the children's race track until my grandmother forcibly drags it off by the ears (tenderly)

[123dv]

In our square near the embankment I could dissect for such an entire hour for 10 cents. They were strictly rented out for recording, and while the child was keen on driving the unit, parents could relax on benches in the shadow of decorative arbors ...

[Alex 241]

Not in Feodosia by accident?

[123dv]

In Yalta.

[Alex 241]

Exactly, in Yalta there were arbors, in Feodosia a park near the cinema

It was a childhood dream, I wanted soda as in photo 7 with double syrup.

[Boris55]

Double syrup.
In the machines, syrup is poured from the beginning, and then soda. Throw three pennies, wait while the syrup is pouring, then remove the glass, skip the soda, throw another 3cop. and add more syrup and already with soda ... ehh, childhood, childhood ...

What was tasty. Not just now, swipes in banks, with a bunch of chemistry.

[And Us Rat]

Nostalgia :) I visited friends at 2008 in Russia, walked around the city, stumbled on a barrel with draft kvass (there really are no glass glasses already). In short, I immediately bought a bottle of Coke in the nearest kiosk, poured it into the sewer hatch, and filled with kvass, the eyes of others, including friends - I should have seen: D (especially considering that a Coke bottle - bought for the sake of packaging cost three times more expensive than this kvass), in a week I visited this barrel once 30, but in bottles kvass g.no.

[So_o_tozh]

And now in Kiev there is no that draft kvass as before, then I went around every other day with a can under the supermarket, it’s strange because the recipes were preserved from the time of the Union.

People lived for an idea! They built, created, believed ...

To dilute a little nostalgia. A couple of excerpts (from a blog intended for conscientious historianshttp: //76letocheredi.blogspot.ru/2011_02_01_archive.html), offhand:

Etc.

[atalef]

You are absolutely right, you can’t, of course, mix up the pure memories of childhood and the horrors of life, everything that you wrote it was like that, your parents have eternal shopping rush in the hope that they will suddenly be thrown out and grabbed something

[Michael_59]

Some simply can’t without throwing mud into the past, they need it to justify their very faulty present.

[gardener]

But scientists, in particular, Konstantin Vladimirovich Anokhin, argue that, without turning to the past, a thinking creature is not able to plan its future. And not even very thinking.
You, dear Mikhail_59, do not agree?

[4952915]

Savoring petty negativity is not an appeal to the past. This is a careful storage in the soul of everything vile, petty, dirty, and then - a careful regurgitation of the accumulated on others. Shared evil - I have less left. There is nothing "scientific" here, but rather a question of morality.

[gardener]

Here, by the way: http://slon.ru/russia/strategiya_goroda_i-1024679.xhtml
... the future is the addition of three elements: history (the past through the present affects the future), overlapping vectors of human will and chance (the latter is sometimes called the language of God). We can take the first into account, prepare for the third, and we can only manage and act on the second — our efforts and the actions of other interested participants

[Evgeniy-111]

The same beloved by many (or not loved) Americans have an expression that they follow quite often: "Even if my country is not right, but this is my country!"

[I'm Sanya.]

In fact, it hung on the gates of the Nazi concentration camp: "Recht oder nicht - meine Heimat". right or not - my fatherland.

[gardener]

But the Russian, Peter Yakovlevich Chaadaev, is credited with the following expression:
"Love for the Fatherland is hatred for its shortcomings and the desire to eradicate them as soon as possible."

[Motors1991]

Gardener, in 1968 I was 9 years old and my mother sent me to the store, and so in those days it was all in the morning to get milk, it cost 24 kopecks and it was taken apart very quickly, while milk in bottles cost 28 kopecks per They stood there, the bottle was worth 15 kopecks, if there was no queue after dinner, there were a couple of people. Meat, sausage, butter, cheese and other chocolates were on the counter, I don’t want to take it. The concept was like a stone in my mind bite for half a day, because they have been on the shelves for months and I was very surprised (actually still I am surprised) that it turns out that there are soft gingerbreads. I’ll say that I didn’t go naked, I had a natural fur coat, a leather hat with earflaps and lamb fur, all of them went both adults and children. In general, the late sixties, the seventies it was a period of overproduction of shoes , clothes, shops were just littered with them. And all of these bloggers are the same songs from Solzhenitsyn and the company, their task is this, to fool everything from our past. Bad stuff, and good shit to gloss over.

[Pancho]

I agree with you, especially since the country only began to move away from a terrible war. I consider the passage about Solzhenitsyn to be wrong. He loved and worried and fought for Russia. You can argue with the number of prisoners in his works, but everything is correctly described. I have a lot relatives, ordinary people, fell under the Stalin ice rink.

I consider the passage about Solzhenitsyn to be wrong. He loved and worried and fought for Russia.

Read carefully:
Every little thing in the cell is interesting to me where the dream has gone, and when the peephole does not look, I sneakily study. There, at the top of one wall, there is a small indentation of three bricks, and a blue paper curtain hangs on it. They already managed to answer me: this window, yes! - there is a window in the cell! - and the curtain is anti-air disguise. Tomorrow will be a weak daylight, and in the middle of the day the cutting lamp will be extinguished for several minutes. How much is that! - live in daylight in the afternoon! Still in the cell is a table. On it, in the most prominent place - a kettle, chess, a stack of books. (I still did not know why in the most prominent. It turns out, again, according to the Lubyanka routine: in every minute peering through the peephole, the overseer must make sure that there are no abuses of these gifts of the administration: they do not hammer the wall with a teapot; that no one swallows chess at the risk of paying and cease to be a citizen of the USSR; and no one managed to burn books in an intention to burn the prison. And the prisoners' own glasses were recognized as weapons so dangerous that they can’t even lie on the table at night, the administration takes them until the morning). What a cozy life! - chess, books, spring beds, good mattresses, clean linen. I don’t remember during the whole war that I slept like that. Grated parquet floor. Almost four steps can be taken in a walk from window to door. No, this central political prison is a clean resort. And the shells do not fall ... I remembered either their high clapping over my head, then the growing whistle and the groan of a gap. And how gently the mines whistle. And how everything is shaking from the violin's egg capsules. I remembered the wet slush near Wormdiite, where they had arrested me and where ours were now mud and wet snow, so as not to let the Germans out of the boiler. Damn it, you don’t want me to fight - no need.

Part 5 the very end of the second chapter (**)

Here he is Solzhenitsyn in all its glory, it was for this purpose that he squeezed off the war, and justified himself by writing his archipelago, charring his homeland abroad and urging her to go to war http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeUV2u1LHes

[Motors1991]

In order to understand who Solzhenitsyn is to read his biography, very interesting facts are revealed. For example, few people know that he was married to the daughter of the richest landowner of the Kuban. According to the Archipelago ... their family should have been pulverized erased back in the Civil War, later in the 20s, but the riddle, he successfully survived and became an officer. They arrested him because in his letters to a friend on the other front he wrote in almost open text about the need to create a new party and overthrow the Supreme Commander it's in time I’m a war. He didn’t know that there was censorship? The last soldier knew, but the captain of the Red Army did not know, and they didn’t shoot him, one must think that he was already a provocateur and informer. Then you can recall the story with his archive, which helped to take out to the USA the military attache of the American embassy, ​​how they contacted the dissident, who is under the hood of the KGB and the military attache, the question is interesting, but the whole thing is that a couple of years before that the KGB seized the archive from him and from where he got the second archive it’s only known to God. .That turns out that this archipelago is this gentleman Dean wrote from the ceiling. And there was also such a writer, Vladimir Maximov, who was also expelled from the USSR as an anti-Soviet. So after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he said: “If I knew how it would end, I would never fight with the Soviet government ,, and compare what Mr. Solzhenitsyn taught us when he came to Russia in the early 90's.

[Pancho]

If you understand what is written in this way, then God is your judge. At the very end of the war, he escaped from it, and even in such a way that it was easy to get the highest measure? "I will tear out my eye so that my mother-in-law has a crooked son-in-law." I'm not going to argue, I talked with my older village relatives on this topic back in the Soviet years and about Stalin's times, the reviews were very negative. Malenkov was most praised. Look at the Russian village now or at what is left of it, you will say: "No Stalin is to blame, "and I will say that he is to a great extent too. Since he created such a system in which it became possible for such people as Khrushchev, Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Putin to come to power. Yes, it is from there that their roots are. This allowed, then she is rotten. And the descendants of the Chekists probably threw minuses to me. Thank you. You are not looking for enemies there, Russia is going through bad times, the Russian people are disappearing, and you are all holding on to Stalin. He had a sharp whip. And the fact that he is Georgian and a stranger to us and did not spare us so it's nothing, women still give birth, and give birth less and less. The blind do not see it.

[Cherdak]

Quote: Pancho

Passage about Solzhenitsyn I think is not true.

... by the time the Archipelago was released, many of the Gulag prisoners were alive and in their right mind. Those who read these revelations were horrified. Among them, one of Solzhenitsyn’s close friends is an ardent anti-Soviet, former Vlasov leader Leonid Samutin. By the way, it was he who Isaevich instructed to store one of the copies of the Archipelago. Here is what Samutin will write later in the book “Do Not Make an Idol”:

“I am reading his story about the summons to the camp operative in that small camp, which was then in the very heart of Moscow, in the then Kaluga ... those lines. But a completely unexpected ending follows. After the threat of the detective to "drive" to the northern camps, Solzhenitsyn thinks: "It's scary how: winter, blizzards and going to the Arctic. And here I am settled, sleep dry, warm and even underwear. In Moscow, my wife comes to see me, wears programs ... Where to go, why go, if you can stay? ". A story follows about "vexation of the spirit" and ... a literally incomprehensible decision - to buy yourself temporary and relative well-being by direct betrayal ... Frightened by "winter, blizzards, the Arctic", Solzhenitsyn goes to what he himself said: to sign an obligation to inform and selection of the nickname "Vetrov".

Solzhenitsyn himself is forced to admit that he committed a base and vile act. He even makes a reservation: “That year, I probably would not have been able to stop at this line ... And then they pulled me out on the ministry’s special squad. And so it turned out. I never had to subscribe to“ Vetrov ”again. , brothers, but the Lord defended from snitching.

But is it? Samutin justly remarks: “We, the old" convicts "broken off by the camps, know for sure: this was impossible! One cannot believe that by giving a subscription to "knock" one could get rid of the opera so easily. And how to get off? Transfer to a privileged position in a special, and even top-secret camp! Who is he telling this to? I declare: such an absurdity was absolutely impossible ... How was the transfer of a prisoner from camp to camp carried out by the so-called "special squad"? This transfer document - a special squad - comes from the Camp Administration and goes to the head of the local camp. But the operative cannot escape in any way, without whose visa he cannot be put into action. He also writes the characterization of the translator. A prisoner with a bad rating cannot be transferred to a privileged camp ... So it turns out that they transferred Solzhenitsyn to a sharashka only because the operative wrote the necessary characterization, gave the go-ahead for transfer. You don’t have to chew anymore to explain what this “good” meant. "

The old prisoner, the prominent Menshevik M. Yakubovich, echoes Samutin, whose fate, in the Archipelago, is allotted eight pages. In his article "Postscript to the" Archipelago "the then already 90-year-old patriarch of the country of Zeklandia writes:" Solzhenitsyn's assurances that the workers of the "organs", not receiving the promised information from "Vetrov", good-naturedly reconciled with this and, moreover, sent this deceiver to work in a special camp with incomparably better conditions - sheer absurdity. "

[DimychDV]

Yes, take the very end of the 80s: in stores - well, nothing! In the fridges - well, everything is there! I’m talking about the Primorsky Territory, by the way, and not about the 700th kilometer from Moscow.
Today, the largest fishing enterprise in Primorye has either 11 or 17 trawlers. In the 70s and 80s, there were about 120 of them, not the largest one! And they did not feed neighboring countries, but the entire USSR! In 1991, with the help of New Zealanders, a refrigerator was built for the NBAMR - today it was demolished in order to ship coal !!! And then the fish was much cheaper than now. I am surprised to find out every time that here, where fish is obtained, it costs more in stores than in Moscow or in St. Petersburg. And the ratio of prices to wages, food and household baskets to earnings - has grown tenfold.
And what impact did the collapse of the USSR inflict on labor movements around the world? The mafia has again joined their unions, and earnings and benefits are declining more and more. And again - labor migration hits all workers in all countries equally.
The rich do not care about social tensions in the lower classes: at least bite each other alive - there, below, under payols ...
Racist is an ally of world capital, that's why they fought with these sentiments in the Civil War.

[shark]

"for us, we can't get anything." - Why are there memoirs of losers?

[gardener]

You are right, dear shark: you didn’t go out to meat cutters, to merchandisers, etc., therefore - a loser.
This is how life is arranged - someone had a share to bear the honor and dignity of a decent person. (What is “honor”, ​​“dignity” - see Yandex)

[shark]

Well, it’s probably a better meat cutter than another free artist in the style of pop art or theater critic, or even worse, the manager who doesn’t want to answer for anything. Unlike the cutter, the above professions are synonymous with the idler parasitizing on citizens engaged in real production

[123dv]

Somehow I had to talk with a very elderly woman, this was the year in 1999 in Yalta. She told me about life before the war, she was then 16-17 years old and she remembered everything well. She talked about how well they lived before the war. About how full the shops were, and how happy they were all ... She talked about how the Germans came. How they shot all the Jews near the current cargo port, how all the Communists and Soviet workers and many others hung on the lanterns along the promenade ... How the waves beat and icy corpses swayed and rang like bells ... how they fell, breaking the ropes under the weight of ice and relatives could only then take the executed ... About how the Germans burned the whole forest around the city so that the partisans could not go down the mountains for food ... About how they, after the war, exhausted and starving children, planted seedlings manually again to the very heights of go By spraying with water which is brought. (Then only I understood why all the pines around Yalta are about the same age ...)
Then, after the war, there was a severe famine and she survived only because her sister married a man who was some important worker and they took her to her in Simferopol. He was supposed to have a bowl of soup for every family member a day ...
In the end, she admitted that as good as before the war, they had never lived and even by the beginning of the seventies people could not afford what was usual in their daily diet in the pre-war period .....
..............................
And when all kinds of garden heads write all kinds of nonsense, I'm sad ...

I found a resolution of the district executive committee of 1974: in the coastal outback, in five villages during the rainy season, wages were not delivered on time, the payment of money was delayed for three days. Solution: even on a bicycle, in a raincoat and boots, these villages could be circled in one day! And at the disposal of the collection department was a whole GAZ-69 car! Raifinotdelu file a lawsuit against the perpetrators. Note: Done on the same day.

Yes, the designers it was a song, I don’t remember how many were there, they put our hands on the right place since childhood, I remember when I was 8 years old I came to a ship model club, so the master knocked out a log from a log, gave a chisel, a hammer, 5 minutes and showed it, or a minting circle, or burn or grind at a woodworking machine, and no one looked that you were 8-9 years old, and showed ahead. So we were taught independence, and now - my son showed me how to putty a wall, I look at it, I look and I think my father would probably have torn me, time is different, they don’t know how to work with their hands, and they are afraid of this, as it seems to me

And how it came in handy here in America. We wanted to buy a house in a specific area, but everything was not there for our money. And suddenly a rather abandoned house in the right place entered the market, a very poor old woman lived there, she did not have money to support the house, and accordingly he came to a state that is called here handyman's special (for a handy man). She finally decided to sell, because a little more, and there would be nothing to sell. Accordingly, very cheap. My wife refused to believe that all this was being repaired, but I talked her out. With what gratitude I recalled the lessons of labor and circles in the USSR. In general, I put the house in order.
And here children in school are taught to work with scissors on paper at best. And self-instruction manuals like for blondes: "Please note that a nail screwed in with a screwdriver holds worse than a screw hammered in with a hammer."

Damn, how old we are, like another era, but we lived in it, here my daughter (7 years old) showed a phone with a disk in the photo, so she still didn’t understand why it could be turned if you could just click on the numbers
It was a great time, for us children, of course it was not easy for parents, for the pictures (+) and thanks

I definitely noticed one. Looks like Khrushchev

[bif]

Speaking of Khrushchev and those times ...
We are rich and you are poor

In July 1959, US Vice President Richard Nixon flew to Moscow, where, together with Khrushchev, he opened the American National Exhibition in Sokolniki Park. Walking through the exhibit with Khrushchev, Nixon stopped outside a model kitchen of a suburban American home, where a lengthy argument erupted between politicians. According to the photographer Elliott Erwitt, who took the famous photograph of Nixon pointing his finger at Khrushchev, two phrases slipped through the debate that were not included in any of the publications. Nixon said: "We are rich and you are poor. We eat meat, and you eat cabbage!" Khrushchev replied simply: "Fuck you!"

so it’s necessary to talk with them. And this is not wealth, but surplus consumption. Nothing but vileness and envy and even crime gives nothing. It’s better then to slurp an empty soup than to walk around looking now.

The products were natural. So the people were healthy. Not that now - one HMNO ...

I recently bought a Belarusian stew, I started to eat and did not understand what kind of taste. Then it came to mind - this is real!
I remembered the long-forgotten, disgusting, taste of the Soviet stew from dried rations.

[STALGRAD76]

In Volgograd on the market on the street. Novorossiysk has a tent "Belarusian sausages", very tasty sausages, though not cheap, of course this is understandable, but I am sure that a real "pure" product

[Evgan]

I have to look :)
Thanks for the tip!

[Steppenwolf]

I’ll pass by - I’ll have to go into it

[shark]

I also have such a store nearby. Really tasty products. The truth goes bad quickly. Probably too natural. Well, that's just a plus. We must learn to take as much as we really need.

[report4]

+1 Also noticed. So there are very few people of eastern nationalities.

[Booby]

I recently watched Vysotsky’s funeral.
He also drew attention to the fact that in the early 80s, for the most part, the people were slim.

[aleksandroff]

Don't chat. The girls were "juicy" and the women were mostly plump. I don’t know how in Moscow, they always lived better, and in the regions thinness is a sign of illness. And now everyone is thin and no health. And what they are all the same, without a figure, as they used to call them "picket fence". And before you look - the arms of the legs, right uuuhhh, beauties! I apologize if I offended anyone, because there is such a constitution.

[Orang]

We were talking about fat men and fat women. There were not many fat ones back in the 70s, by the way then there was a fashion for "picket fence", at work the aunts recalled

Well, in America, as a result of the war, it didn’t get worse, but in Europe it was unlikely to be better.

The Germans conquered Europe in almost 1,5 years, without causing much damage to European factories and plants, in contrast to the rebellious USSR. If only the Europeans did not have to recover from the American bombing in 1944-1945.
And the United States only fabulously welded into the war, joining it only at the end.

[saag]

Somehow unusually colored photos of those years, I still remember both the cleaner and the garbage collection truck based on the Gas-51

[Rus86]

I remember the photos of Nicholas II impressed in the encyclopedia. or colored Germans

[stolbovsn]

The first color photographs appeared just in Russia. Recently on topwar there was an article and a selection of photographs of that time.

[morpogr]

Beautiful and confident people, and children no one cries and there is no sadness on their faces.

[Combitor]

In the late 09's and early 19's I was just a child. So why should we cry and be sad? Well-fed, healthy. At home, food made from natural products and sweets made from real sugar and chocolate. Although what food is in the summer in the heat, when parents are at work, and a crowd of friends are running around in the yard. You run home, cut off a loaf of bread, on top of it a thick circle of boiled sausage (real! Who says it was made of paper - I'll tear it!) And back into the yard, until in the dark the parents from the balconies start shouting us out. We walked "to the last." They were not afraid of anything. Why be afraid? Pedophiles and maniacs did not exist then as a species.

neither homeless, nor chernukha. lived before. where did everything go ...

[Pimply]

There were homeless people back then, and marginals, and chernukha. It was less visible - yes.

[timeout]

Chernukha and the dregs of society are and will be everywhere, only in the USSR it was immediately eradicated, burned and immediately a ticket to the LTP for a couple of years. If the aunt on the steps of the ladder was embarrassed, then she is clearly not a marginal, I won’t be surprised that she would be sawing on the ship for a day and a half before her native village. But the fucking ditch and all kinds of minorities were hundreds of times smaller, and assholes were tearing each other in the zone, there was an article.

They drove them for 101 kilometers — there was such an order that doesn’t settle closer than 100 km from the regional centers, and then there were also in the zones and not only, we simply did not know about it, more precisely, it almost became a hero

[timeout]

At 101 km. prostitutes settled before the Olympics, and reclining sitters. Homeless people as a class did not exist, you’ve lost your passport, you go to any police department and a month later you didn’t get your passport from the apartments and the article was for parasitism. If you are thumping, then the district police officer, after three drives to a cold drink for a month, sent Bukhara to a narcologist and he wrote with a pure soul a referral to LTP (medical labor dispensary), where there were two ways to quit drinking or work for the benefit of society indefinitely. Well, about pid *** the ditch is also an article for sodomy. And the authorities watched it, but the people weren’t handed over as they say not to the bastard.

[Current 72]

Yes, there were homeless people, and marginals, and blackmail, but this good eleven times was less than this hour. And besides, they did not advertise themselves, and now all sorts of rubbish crawls on TV and in the media, yes and everywhere. Well Pimple, you agree with me.

There have always been homeless people and black people at any power. Including in the "civilized and democratic" West

[ekzorsist]

No, it does not seem.
Parents ran quietly in the summer until the darkest time and their parents were not very worried, they knew the company together - they won’t go anywhere ... they ran in the park, on the river ...
Well, such wild moments as it is now all over the place - that it’s scary to let out children into the street - there weren’t

[KERGUDU BIMBAR]

because they didn’t have sex, toilet paper, terrorists, unemployed, homeless people,
oligarchs, effective managers, mobile slavery, many of which were not there.

for that there was a queue for cars, the housing issue, cronyism at the bases and in bookstores, blacksmiths and the "birch" (not an ensemble) nomenclature was the same.

and in spite of everything, thanks to education for everyone, there were physicists and lyricists, soda for three kopecks, confidence in the future, there was no fear that the NATO would fly in and spoil us as Yugoslavia, where every member of the European Union simply had to dump this unfortunate his country is a bomb. because the GREAT COUNTRY ceased to exist, which would not allow this scum.
it's a pity of course, we have our POWER, we spent some time in the smoking rooms. now we have a full drink.
and in the "conclusion" he said: there were no nationalities either, but there was a GREAT SOVIET PEOPLE WITH EQUAL POSSIBILITIES FOR ALL. it was all ..

[gawroche]

I am an old man (born in 1940), but I remember a lot, and the first candy in my life from a Russian officer immediately after the liberation in 1945, and the situation of the 60s, when an aunt from the far north came to the girl I was meeting with Russia. In Poland, the most fashionable coats were from "ortalion" imported from Italy or France, I also bought it from someone,
although it was too great, but I was proud of it. So what was my surprise when it turned out that my aunt also in a similar coat "ortalion" arrived. Seeing my surprise, my aunt said: "Do you think that in Russia we have nothing? As you can see, we do."

Those who could get permission to go abroad so easily, and even if they had relatives there (relatives abroad were a terrible spot on the questionnaire, something like a criminal record), then there really was everything.

[Vlaleks48]

Yes, a little zealous little, especially a photo with schoolboys in uniform.
I went to first grade in a tunic and breeches of officer cloth, chrome boots. For it was simply impossible to buy a uniform, they sewed in a military studio. This is in '55, all the guys whose military fathers went to school dressed in a similar way. Instead of briefcases - a field a bag with all the troubles, even with a curvimeter. Then I remember with my father sold the uniform at the flea market in 58.
Life was more fun, more confident!

[ekzorsist]

gardener
I also want not to disappoint you much!
Alas, in '68 (how long ago it was in another life) I was 6 years old, I don’t remember exactly by years, but what Motors1991 already mentioned, I don’t remember in stores at that time that it was empty. On the corner there was a store called "Live Fish" and that in these times it was wild - the fish was always there and really - live, swam in a huge pool and I don't remember queues of wild ones behind it. And my mother often sent to a dairy store - there could be a terrible queue - of 2 people ..., milk in bottles (they were then handed over), triangular bags ... ghee, varenets ... how many then did it taste not the same as in childhood . Fresh vanilla buns with fresh milk are delicious. By the way, in schools it was already later milk and buns were brought free of charge at the big break right from the bakery, still hot ...
About the clothes ... well, they certainly didn’t go naked, everyone had children’s fur coats and little coats, and they wore hats of fur, rabbit, everything was made of natural - wool, fur (they didn’t even learn how to drive bullshit in European then).
And the croaks of some senility brought by you is complete nonsense. Batteries, slippers and other crap were ... and without any problems.
So, do not believe in any "sincere nonsense", it is better to ask your parents ... how they lived then and how they got better now.

[gardener]

Yes, dear Ekzorsist, the sweetness of your childhood memories cannot be broken, nor crushed by any documentary evidence. The phenomenon is well-known, well-studied, but it is of interest nevertheless not for historiography, but for psychology, for children.
There is no arguing ...

As an adult, I still think about this: http://76letocheredi.blogspot.ru/2013_07_01_archive.html

I remember well after the war. At 47 food cards were canceled. Enormous lines disappeared at 50. There was an abundance of goods in stores, though we couldn’t buy tens of kilograms, and we didn’t have to do this, there were no refrigerators now. My first salary, it was 364 rubles, Stalin's rubles, he worked as a laborer at a construction site, enough for everything, and even for a drink. They lived together, had fun, and if they swore it was not malicious. Yes, it was a good time, not like this hour. Thank you for the photo !!! I looked and somehow it became warmer in my soul.

[demon184]

Everything was there in the 80s, food and clothes began to disappear closer to the 90s, when perestroika gained momentum. But now they assume that this was organized and not by chance. If only they had known, Hunchback would have been strangled like a nit and the drunk Eltsin, but the people were very trusting, like the Indians, they were not afraid, they were used to the fact that the party would not let you down and would decide everything for you and would give you a job and provide housing and food and solve family problems (if your husband drinks).

[Borz]

Don’t touch the saint with your dirty paws! We lived in a great country and, not knowing Coca-Cola, did not feel inferior at all. And I consider your photos with views of America inappropriate - in two world wars they did not suffer significant losses, their cities did not were destroyed, and they profited more than other participating countries.

[0255]

15 thousand coffins from Afghanistan

Americans also received coffins from Vietnam, and today - from Iraq, Afghanistan and many other places. Plus, written off for non-combat reasons

[Vasyan1971]

But I wonder what would be left of this pastoral after some Goth or Manstein marched through it? They sat behind the ocean of grief without knowing.

[Santa Fe]

I think there is no need to remember the Soviet past. All these vending machines with gas water and voluntary-compulsory morning performances are a cheap production against the backdrop of a much cooler reality.

USA, highway, 1960s

[SAG]

I hope you will be demoted to private for such statements! Our ancestors paid for this with millions of their lives, just so that this could happen. And at that time the Americans were doing business, and very cynically... they sold weapons to us and the British, and oil to Hitler, and in the end they managed to get involved in the division of Germany and its nationalities. wealth (although they certainly dreamed of sharing the USSR with the Nazis).

[vladsolo56]

You don’t realize that America earned billions from the war, fabulous money at that time. And the fact that back in the 30s there was poverty and people were dying of hunger, that blacks and Indians were not considered people, that communists were sentenced to death or life imprisonment. You prefer not to remember all this; somehow it does not fit into your concept of an American happy society.

[4952915]

If a country is flooded with free resources, why not show it off? If you are not aware, the main outcome of the war for the United States was the Bretton Woods agreements. The dollar became the world currency. “The cost of a hundred-dollar bill is eleven cents, but if you take it outside the United States, you will receive a hundred dollars worth of goods for it.” Alas, the USSR was not such a talented global swindler; it lived on what it earned, not what it stole, but at the same time it developed faster than the United States. In other words, the whole world has worked and is working for the USA. How long will the world have enough patience?

[lazy]

I think the memories of what was in stores and what was not depends on what city they lived in, for example, when I came to Leningrad after school, I was shocked when I first saw how they asked for 200 grams of sausage, and even cut it into pieces , if we have sausage, then take the whole loaf, otherwise it’s not a fact that there will be tomorrow, probably even Muscovites didn’t understand why people from the Moscow region take food with backpacks.
PS now, of course, there is no shortage (except for a shortage of money) and in your hometown you can easily take 200 grams of sausage, but I’m not sure that they will cut it into pieces, they’ll rather send it, I’m not used to it yet

[Svyatoslavovich]

Now the shortage is much greater; instead of normal products, there are synthetic substitutes on the shelves, fake meat, fish, milk, etc.

USA, highway, 1960s

Well, well... Let's look at these highways in 10 years.

So you say the Soviet people were beggars. But what to prove and to whom, the memory of many will not allow them to lie. There was everything that was needed and even more. And I personally have never felt such heaviness in every sense as I do now.
In order not to go into discussions about sausage and other things, I’ll just say it. Before the collapse of the union, he was moderately well-fed, but after that, as the grandmother whispered.
Probably a coincidence. I am completely silent about the availability of quality education, treatment and, in general, confidence in the future. All that remains is to be an optimist, because as a realist I see that the world is going to hell.

[gardener]

“...Well, well... Let's look at these highways in 10 years...”

Do you, dear Nikolaich, still continue to cherish hope and wait for “your neighbor’s cow to die”?
Oh, this is a wrong life strategy!
Firstly, you won’t get anything from it anyway. Isn't it clear?
Secondly, the one who is guided by it risks not only slightly losing his “fatness,” but also drying up completely: from melancholy, because the dream does not come true, and from idleness, because they are not paying for it now.
Wouldn't it be better for all of us to be more demanding of ourselves and our chosen leaders?

Dear gardener...
Well, where do you dig up this, to put it mildly, “porn”? (This is the horror reading from your links)
What a horror!!! I lived my whole life in the USSR and didn’t know how bad it was in the Union
Don't read all the nonsense of idiots. Although -
"...everyone chooses for themselves,
Woman, religion, freedom.
To serve the devil or the people
Everyone chooses for themselves.
Everyone chooses for themselves
A word for love and for prayer,
A sword for a duel, a sword for battle,
Everyone chooses for themselves."
If you start delving into all these “charms” of highways or shit-cracy, etc., then not everything is so good and beautiful.
Be that as it may, and no matter what you “paint” (put the emphasis yourself), but the main achievements of the Soviet system (by the way, no one has yet been able to overcome them) are social security and social guarantees for the citizens of the country, the protection of citizens countries anywhere in the world (although this was done quietly, calmly without showing off like the Amers), guaranteed healthcare (by the way, now this will cost you a pretty penny - achieving democracy), housing provision, etc.
Of course, comparing the states at that time, which only warmed their hands in the war, and the USSR, which endured this entire war, is like comparing an ass with a finger. Therefore, excuse me, but time is the best judge. And after just 20 years, it already shows what the USSR was and what they sold in return. It’s like the Papuans, in exchange for glass beads and mirrors, took away everything valuable - gold, furs, land, etc. So the citizens of the USSR turned out to be Papuans.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask the same Chinese, but not so long ago they laughed at them - and iron smelting in every yard and so on, but now they practically put the whole world in shoes (both literally and figuratively) and dress, feed, almost 75 percent of electrical appliances, office equipment and other crap are from China, but they will stick you some kind of sticker and it’s inexpensive. So much for the socialist system.

[Jager]

Especially for the Gardener.
So, I’ll tell you about the terrible repressions in the damned “scoop” first hand. And the kind of hands about which Solzhenitsyn and his Gulag go on a journey through intimate places.
My grandmother lived in Yakutia, my mother was born in Oymyakon. What kind of place is it? Tundra, -70 in winter, no roads. Wild land. Within a radius of 800-1000 km it was possible not to meet a single person. And camps. Lots of camps. And skulls and bones (the permafrost “squeezes out” all solid objects) outside the town in the summer, when the snow melted. Complete convicts. The minimum term is 20 years. People with scary and fair accusations - for others they were not sent to that hell, there was simply nowhere to go further, even the uranium mines were much further south. Traitors, punishers (since the Second World War), traitors to the Motherland, murderers - the standard list. People are inherently scary.
But! Residents of the surrounding towns quite calmly went into the forest to pick berries, left their children to walk alone, no murders or robberies. Every prisoner and resident understood their responsibility - in which case the retribution would be short, plus honor did not allow it (among the prisoners there were many highly educated people, such as a Baltic spy - recruited by the Germans and caught by DEAD. And there was no evil as such - the evil ones did not survive in those conditions.
By the way, even in this ass of the world there was a real AIRPORT, my grandmother worked there. She graduated from the university in Yakutsk and worked. I sent part of the scholarship to my parents (it was even enough). My daughter (my mother) and I went to the seaside to a sanatorium once a year. From Oymyakon to the Ukrainian resort. Working alone and with a child. And she could afford it. Albeit with hardships, but she could. And there was an apartment. From the enterprise. And they dressed normally, they didn’t wear sweatshirts. I can even post a photo album on VO. And she worked as an ordinary accountant, and not as a secretary of the city committee. And the food was normal, even if there was a terrible shortage of vegetables and fruits. And according to her now, life was easier then than now.
Yes, there were excesses, I don’t argue. But no one could even think about the current mess at that time (50-80s). How strong the USSR was if after his death the “margin of safety” left was enough for almost 25 years.
By the way, the North has practically died out over the years of “perestroikas” and “reforms”. Yakutia and the surrounding regions developed, were built, developed, but now in most parts everything is forgotten and abandoned. People there SURVIVE. And how they could freeze and leave the people of Indigirka to starve, my people simply don’t understand - there was a strict procedure for the delivery of food and coal. And in 20 years of living there there has never been such a case. And now... Ugh, I was kind of nervous...

[gardener]

Well, dear Jager, why are you so excited? You need to take care of yourself for possible future achievements (some commentators here express confidence that “... everything will come back...”).
I would ask them:
“...And camps. Lots of camps. And skulls and bones..." - too?).

Here all the Gardener’s records are minus, almost to zero.
Some are marked “The comment has been deleted.” This is a moderator out of compassion. And according to commentators, perhaps: “10 years without the right to correspondence.”
And really, why bother? The logic is simple: all the “wrong” ones will be discarded, and the remaining ones will be restarted with the construction of communism.

Dear fellow citizens! Why are we so intolerant of other people's opinions?
You have been offered documents for review: excerpts from letters, diary entries, official messages, etc. A minimum of “lyrics,” emotional judgments and assessments. Documentary evidence of the real lives of real people who stood in queues all their lives.
THE ERA OF SOCIALISM IN THE PERSONAL FEELINGS OF SPECIFIC PEOPLE.
Is it true. Nothing more.
It really was like that.

Why did you, 123dv, feel sad?

I suppose all this whining is due to your innate, “comrades,” civic infirmity.

Where were you all when the country was collapsing? Having torn the navel in an effort to draw the lagging republics of the Union, the countries of the third and fourth world into the socialist “circle”.
In the late 80s - early 90s, with the demand for the abolition of Art. 6 of the Constitution, hundreds of thousands of people, tired of socialism and its queues, came out to Moscow Square.
And you, “comrades,” where were you in August 91? Why didn’t they take to the streets in defense of “communism” (“...THE GREAT SOVIET PEOPLE WITH EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL...”)?
And in October '93?

That's the same! You are in the minority. There are not many who want to get back into service, that is, IN QUEUE.

Here, having been downvoted many times over, all you can do is complain, look at the moon and...

[Jager]

By the way, if my memory serves me correctly, in the 1991 referendum an overwhelming number of citizens were in favor of preserving the USSR. And where is this referendum? Three drunks gathered and slashed from the shoulder. I was 5 years old at that time.
Gardener, I don’t understand - why are you using American photos of highways and high-rise buildings? America has not fought on its territory for 200 years. And there were no civil wars there.
The union as a form was extremely strong - the rotten elite ruined the country, instead of finding a way out of the crisis.
I'm not talking about paradise in a particular country, but about a decent life for its citizens. There were executions and massacres. This has always been the case, but after a recession there is always a rise, but at the moment we have big problems with this.

[gardener]

I didn’t find anything that was “by the way” in your entry. You write (and think?), young man, in a hurry, and therefore you got everything mixed up: “...photos of highways...” - this is “through the other door.”

About the Union “...as a form...”, if you were really interested in this question, there are tons of materials - both in libraries and on the Internet. Read it - I don’t want to. Both this point of view and that. Of course, without having either personal life experience or special training/education, it is quite difficult to figure it out. But for an inquisitive mind it is quite possible. And so, by attacking one, another, third “commentator” - what do you expect? Is it possible to tamper with it somehow...

“...and there were executions and massacres...”
Similar scales of both were also in Cambodia, and in China (but there are a lot of them there!). And we exterminated the best, the most talented, the most hardworking and active. The color of the Soviet-Russian nation. You, dear Jager, probably had a chance to walk on the skulls of some of them. You can be proud and tell it to your descendants in your memoirs.
By the way, if necessary, we would write down the stories of local residents, in Kolyma and Yakutia, the descendants of the victims and participants (guards) of this greatest crime against Russia. There would be no price for such records. The story “Faithful Ruslan” by Georgy Nikolaevich Vladimov is well known, but it is still fiction. But I didn’t have to see or read the memories themselves... these same ones. Some of them are probably still alive. But they froze for now.
Get busy, a lot will clear up in your head

Quote: gardener

“...Well, well... Let's look at these highways in 10 years...”

Do you, dear Nikolaich, still continue to cherish hope and wait for “your neighbor’s cow to die”?
Oh, this is a wrong life strategy!
Firstly, you won’t get anything from it anyway. Isn't it clear?
Secondly, the one who is guided by it risks not only slightly losing his “fatness,” but also drying up completely: from melancholy, because the dream does not come true, and from idleness, because they are not paying for it now.
Wouldn't it be better for all of us to be more demanding of ourselves and our chosen leaders?

Gardener, of course, you are not going to listen to anyone’s evidence. And they immediately latched on to the “highways”, that’s all clear. Although my message was different.
The States will fall apart anyway, even without anyone’s help, but if it is needed, for the good of my Motherland, I am ready to provide it.
Personally, I do not see a single condition that will cancel the third world war in the very near future (by historical standards).
That's not the point. Everything we now use is the remnants of the heritage of a great country that no longer exists. Imagine that the foundation laid in the USSR was enough to resist, slowly dying for as long as 25 years. And perhaps it will last just as long before dying completely in every sense. But we can't allow this. Even seeing what is happening in schools, hospitals, factory floors, on the street... The enemy will not pass.
Maybe you, gardener, are really better off sowing roses rather than seeds of doubt.

[gardener]

For a long time I tried to figure out, dear Nikolaich, what exactly are you trying to substantiate with your “evidence”? What “...The States will fall apart...”? So it is common knowledge that nothing lasts forever under the sun. Just what kind of benefits do you expect to gain from this?

Well, this state will cease to exist, so what? Will your salary/pension increase? Will our planes stop crashing? Will our lands stop being overgrown with weeds? Will the people around you and me become more moral, kinder to each other (at least in medical institutions)? Will they stop drinking buckets and killing each other? Will “peeling” and “rollback” disappear? Will officials stop taking bribes?
So what is the need to fill your head with hopes of troubles in someone else’s house? Yes, and this is not accepted in polite society, to gloat, to prophesy.

Doper!
"...The enemy will not pass..."

Why don't you ask yourself this question:
Who benefits from frightening us with the Americans, NATO? And at the same time, it is “there”, over the hill, to keep your assets, and to educate your children and grandchildren there?
I'd like to look around. Lots of questions. And you’re talking about their highways...

"...we can't allow this"
Oh, Nikolaich, when and who ever asked you and me anything? And what can you, (or your son?) - what can you do?

"...seeds of doubt..."
Doubts - about what?
Will communism come back?
So I would like to remind you how people lived during the first attempt.

[Nikolaitch]

I am not a member of any party. And why are you stuck with these fucking highways, they don’t show anything at all.

Yes, gardener. Communism will return in one form or another. There is no other option. The chance is small, but it is a chance for the future.

For the gardener
"...Where were you all when the country was collapsing?..."
I can say - 5 years “beyond the river” and I don’t think it was in vain.
But when I returned home and saw what was already happening here in the Union - at first I didn’t understand, I thought maybe I didn’t understand something, I went a little wild in the war...
And then it was too late, and to shed the blood of your citizens... somehow they didn’t teach this. It’s all simple now - money - goods - money, and nothing personal, they calmly kill each other for nothing...
Although you are partly right in the wrong place and with the wrong people!

[gardener]

“beyond the river” Such an expression has not been encountered, but it is approximately understandable: he fought somewhere for some strategic interests declared by Suslov and other ideological idiots (to us, who did not leave the line, unknown and absolutely alien). Thank God that, although he “...went a little wild...”, he returned. And how many not...!

And go and explain to those who miraculously survived that...
All the same: “...I don’t think it was in vain...”.
Well, how can that be! It seems that you can still ask yourself the question: “...maybe I don’t understand something...”
Yes…

And thank God that the majority were smart enough not to start a civil massacre. Or it’s starting to dawn on us that no matter what the outcome, there will be crooks on top, on top of the winners’ humps.

So
“...we fought in the wrong place and with the wrong people...”

I’ll tell you a short episode from my life in those “terrible” years for some. In 1961, I entered the 11th grade of the Ufa school. The director of the school was a retired colonel, a great guy. He always organized something for us. At the school there was a choir of high school students, and we took first place in the show, and he got a ticket to run in a school car along the route Ufa-Orenburg-Uralsk-Guriev-Astrakhan-Grozny-Tbilisi-Kutaisi-Gori-Sukhumi-along the coast to Sochi-Tuapse-Krasnodar-Rostov-on-Don -Saratov-Ufa. Group of students 10-11 grades 20 people, head art. a pioneer leader, a little older than us, and a driver, a car teacher. We earned the money for the rally ourselves, he found us a job, our parents gave us a little. Along the route, if we fit in on time, we spent the night at schools. If we didn’t fit in, we settled in ourselves. Of course, we didn’t fit in. Auto UralZis5, Body with an awning. They mostly cooked the food themselves on a blowtorch, in the cities they ate in canteens. Bread, salt, mustard were always on the tables for free, you could pay 1 kopeck for a glass of sweet tea and have breakfast in any grocery store ( remember the geography of the route) you could buy boiled sausage, milk, kefir, katyk, fermented baked milk without any problems, then return the bottles, right there in the store and buy more. We rode for 2 months and there was not a single case of someone running into us In any city you could go to the city committee of the Komsomol and agree to be assigned to food in some camp for Komsomol workers for three days, which is what we practiced. Lots of impressions, independence. Even now everything is vivid in my memory. But is this possible now? Yes, not a single director will take on such responsibility and not a single parent will send their child to an unknown place, although now everyone has a telephone, and they greet them from school until the 5th-6th grade. This means there was a high level of security and people’s confidence in it. Now it is impossible.

In my memory, the years you mentioned are an explosion of intelligence that was suppressed in the country of developed and underdeveloped socialism.

Not a single compelling argument...
An empty set of phrases, in the style of a “democrat-anti-communist.”
Looks like you've been "napping" for 25 years...
Your “indisputable truths” have long been refuted by the very course of life.
It's time to change the repertoire...

“...personally, Dear?...”

Dear dok69, you asked a personal question “...Aren’t you tired of it?...”. He answered you in the same tone, quite politely. What grievances?

And then, haven’t you noticed - I’m not proving anything to anyone.

SHOWING Y. Documents

Here's the thing.
Having tried to consistently read the long list of documentary evidence of that past socialist life (see links above), I was horrified. Well, the truth is - green melancholy on a red background. Is this really how we lived? Was it really possible to live like this?
In the eternal search for the most necessary, the most essential - from food, bread, clothes, envelopes, toothbrushes, medicines, and to books, magazines...
In a state of eternal humiliation, endless, day and night (after all, they trampled under the doors of stores for days), queues, with a record, with marks on the hands... Or ingratiation, groveling before the “powers of that world” - those who had access to commodity distribution channels...
Those living today cannot even imagine this, and therefore do not believe it. So, here are the “tugaments” for you - try to read, understand, feel the inescapable melancholy of life-long queues.

Look for evidence in the works of economists.

It is not difficult to provide numerical data on the time spent standing in queues - prominent economists of the 80s, in particular, Academician Tatyana Ivanovna Zaslavskaya, now deceased, REALLY TRIED TO PROVE that queues from an economic point of view are pure absurdity. Queues slow down the development of both the economy and society as a whole. Society can be deceived by false promises, but the economy cannot. She will take revenge. That, in particular, is why the collapse came...
Their, the economists', arguments (not mine at all) indeed represent "indisputable truths." Evidence, in the form of links to their scientific works and press appearances, could be included here.
Anyway…
As for your, dear dok69, convictions, please accept my assurances of full respect for them. You have the right. Undisputed. This is one of the advantages of democracy.
Appreciate it before it's taken away

I don’t know whether to be nostalgic or not. Yes, these are the best years of my life, but when I saw the pioneers marching in formation to the beat of drums, I immediately lost my desire. of course, everything happened. both the camps and the resort to fly, just fly, were available. and most importantly a sense of security for yourself and your family.

[dok69]

Who cares what is more important...
For us - a feeling of security for ourselves and our loved ones, a confident and calm look into the Future, a feeling of “The Country behind us”, firm confidence in the future...
And someone is haunted by queues for the most necessary things (by the way, artificially created by fighters for a fabulous capitalist tomorrow), camps, “humiliated and insulted” dissidents, censorship (strange, but for some reason the “democratic” censorship that existed and exists in the fabulous -caramel strongholds of “victorious democracy”).
It is hardly possible to prove anything to a person who thinks in clichés...
He considers himself so wise and enlightened that he speaks lazily and condescendingly.
You, Dear Gardener, couldn’t even cause irritation...
So... A smile and tenderness at your “stubbornness”.
I don't see any point in continuing the argument. :)

[gardener]

Do not consider this, dear dok69, as an attempt to continue (not an argument!) the exchange of opinions.
But I can’t resist sharing with the nostalgic audience here what I just read. From our servicemen's history:
http://www.istpravda.ru/digest/621/
Shot Petrel
In order to attract the thinking reader here, here is a small quote:
“The good words spoken by leaders at conventions and meetings were not backed up by the same actions. Corruption and nepotism among those in power flourished. The Communist Party, of which he became a member... in a sincere desire to actively participate in building a society of FREEDOM, EQUALITY and HAPPINESS FOR ALL, actually provided opportunities only to a narrow circle of “selected” from among party and government officials and their relatives. All this outraged him and caused him to seek answers to numerous questions in the works of the classics of Marxist-Leninist teaching and other philosophers. At the Military-Political Academy, he intended to personally understand... compare real affairs in the country with their postulates and find his place in the fight against injustices, caused, in his opinion, by the incompetence, opportunistic and ideological “blind-mindedness” of the then leadership of the USSR.
...Over the years of reflection during his studies at the academy and life in Moscow, he came to the final conclusion about the depravity of the existing system of power..."
Let us, men, while plunging into the sweet memories of youth, do not neglect thinking about the essence of everything we have experienced and about the future of our country
