Old things of the Soviet times. Legendary things that became the hallmark of the USSR
A Minsk resident collected a $15,000 collection of Soviet things at his dacha: “We are not nostalgic for the USSR, we just remember our childhood”
Everything happened very by accident. Denis bought a dacha six years ago. Forgotten Soviet artifacts were an appendage to it. The man thought. Then I bought myself several beer glasses of the 80s, and a little later I found one rare - the 50s, the so-called Nikulinsky. From glasses he switched to beer taps, tape recorders, filmoscopes, paraphernalia of the Soviet police. Latest project Denis - restored soviet machine gun sparkling water comes from his childhood.
- It's probably age.- Denis laughs and shows the machine gun.
Students don't really understand. Basically the same for students. These have ceased to be actively exploited since the end of 1991. Basically, they were placed in places of mass gathering of people - GUM, TSUM, cinemas and other popular establishments. You come up, wash the glass, throw a penny - you drink. If you have a coin of 3 kopecks in your pocket, you can afford soda with syrup.
- Some time after the collapse of the USSR in the former Soviet republics they worked on tokens. Now they have begun to make stylized Soviet ones with bill acceptors. But this, of course, is not the coat. Similar machines were produced in Kyiv and Moscow, if I'm not mistaken. My sample is Ukrainian. And yes, it is a reusable faceted glass. People did not disdain and did not get sick.
Nutro, of course, not completely natural. Lots of modern details. Purchased machine. Denis spent about $250 on it. True, this is not the first test. There have been three more so far. All four units are now on the site.
- On "Onliner" there is a thematic branch "Our childhood". People aged 35+ actively communicate there. When I started talking about the soda machine, there was a user under the nickname globba - a man with golden hands who persuaded me to do it. We struggled together for three weeks, but managed.
Country children gathered to gawk at the new contraption in the yard of Uncle Denis. At first they did not understand what it was. Then they asked me to explain. Uncle Denis taught them how to use a machine gun - queues began to gather near him.
- For you, it tastes better than drinks like Fanta?
- For me, these are different things. Fanta appeared in the USSR for the Olympics-80. And also sold in vending machines. There were no such people in Minsk. I remember that my father and I came to Moscow. In the building of the Belorussky railway station, dad says to me: “Denis, now you will try such an unrealistic delicious drink. Keep 15 kopecks. So you understand? Five times more expensive than Soviet sparkling water. At the Belorussky railway station there were two automatic machines with the inscription "Fanta". I didn't even know what it was. But yes, it was delicious for me. This is 1981. It seems to me that Fanta and Pepsi have not changed since then. Same taste. And Soviet drinks - Tarkhun, Baikal, Pinocchio - have become worse. Previously, they were made from natural ingredients. Shelf life was 7 days. And now it is not clear how much. Beer is the same story. Now fashionable craft. And in my youth, it turns out, everything was craft.
Denis laughs. On it are elements of the uniform of Soviet traffic cops. Harness, leggings - 70s. Helmet - 80s. Estonian production. After the acquisition, the collector liked to play tricks on neighbors-dacha residents, going out onto the village road. Some actually stopped and showed documents until they understood what was happening.
- I have been working for 25 years stock market RB. For 10 years he worked in a state administration body that regulated the securities market. Then he worked as a professional participant in the securities market. I invest part of the money I earn in my collection. These things should be saved for the future. This is our history.
Many things are now rising in price. With this in mind, the cost of the collection is approximately $15,000.
- It's like with securities you need to know what to invest in- the collector laughs. - True, I had no calculation. As a result, flashing lights from the GDR, which I bought for $10-15, have now risen in price a lot. Because in Russia there is a fashion for creating replicas of police cars and traffic police of the USSR. As a result, the cost of a flasher can now reach up to $100, or even more. But I don't make money from it. It's a hobby. For myself.
A man shows replicas of license plates of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the BSSR. He says that with the introduction of new white and black numbers in the USSR, the MIM series since 1980 has become only a police one.
- On the night of museums on May 19, with another of our forum users m141170, we handed over things related to the Soviet police for a temporary exhibition in the museum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus. Why has the price of these things gone up? In the Russian Federation, fashion for Soviet cars. And now almost every regional police department wants to install such a retro car in front of their building. For many years I have been studying the transport of the USSR police. Especially the coloring pages. For a long time I was looking for Soviet GOSTs, which established the rules for painting. They were nowhere to be found on the internet. As a result, I found the originals of 1953 and 1957 in the Russian archives. Requested copies, would pay something like $50.
The USSR no longer exists, but the memory of the legendary things of that era is still alive. From the Tu-144 aircraft to the pedal Moskvich and the shopping bag.
1. Tu - 144
"Soviet Concorde", the first supersonic aircraft that carried passengers. Unfortunately, the Tu-144 did not fly for a long time. Due to two disasters on June 1, 1978, Aeroflot stopped passenger air transportation of the Tu-144.
But in the early 1990s, the Tu-144 worked for NASA as a flying laboratory.
2. Satellite
The first artificial satellite. PS1 (the simplest satellite) looked stylish: a shiny ball (diameter 58 cm) with four antennas (2.9 and 2.4 meters). He weighed 83.6 kilograms.
The word "Sputnik" has become international, and the profile of "Sputnik" is still unmistakable.
3. Lunokhod
The Lunokhod was the fruit of the creative thought of the Soviet design engineer Georgy Babakin and his team. The first Lunokhod in history had eight wheels, and each of them had its own drive, which provided the device with all-terrain qualities. It was a real "miracle of technology", shredded with first-class equipment.
4. AK-47
AK-47 - living legend. It took first place in the list of the most significant inventions of the 20th century according to the French magazine "Liberation" and 4th place in the list of "50 products that changed the world" according to Playboy magazine.
The name "Kalash" in Africa is called children, the machine gun is depicted on the state flags of four states (Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, East Timor) and on the coat of arms of Mozambique.
5. Spaceship "Vostok"
Yuri Gagarin went into space on it. This is already enough to call Vostok legendary. Soviet industry produced models spaceships"Vostok" for children, and adults pinned a badge with his image on the lapel of their jacket.
6. Orbital station "Mir"
The Soviet designers of the Mir orbital station showed the whole world what a comic house-laboratory should look like. Mir has been in orbit for 15 years. 135 cosmonauts from 11 countries of the world visited the station. Nearly 17,000 scientific experiments have been carried out in the unique space laboratory. There were almost 12 tons of scientific equipment alone at the station.
7. PPSh
PPSh-41 during the Great Patriotic War was the most popular and famous submachine gun in the USSR. The creator of this legendary weapons, which the soldiers lovingly called "daddy", was the gunsmith Georgy Shpagin.
IN post-war period produced in North Korea. One of the first Korean PPSh (variant with a disk magazine) was presented to Stalin in 1949 for his 70th birthday.
8. Tank T-34
The T-34 tank deservedly became one of the symbols of the Victory. This is the only medium tank, from the cannon of which, during the war, Hero of Russia A.M. Fadin shot down an enemy aircraft in flight. The Thirty-Four is the most economical tank in terms of fuel consumption, as well as the most massive tank in the world: over 58,000 T-34 tanks were produced in the USSR in 1940-1946 alone.
9. Faceted glass
Soviet faceted glasses, made using a special technology, could literally crack nuts. The appearance of the "border" in the USSR is associated with Vera Mukhina. Allegedly, the design of the glass was developed by her in 1943 in besieged Leningrad, where Mukhina headed the Art Glass Workshop.
10. Zenith
These iconic cameras were produced at the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant. "Zenith" series E became the most massive SLR camera in the world. And in 1979 the prestigious British magazine What camera? recognized Zenit EM as the best camera of the year.
11. Ekranoplan
The Lun ekranoplan, which was tested in 1985, was a real machine of the future. For its firepower, it was dubbed the "carrier killer". The ekranoplan was one of the largest aircraft ever produced.
12. Commander's watch
If the machine, then "Kalashnikov", if the watch, then "Commander". Initially, "commander's" watches were called award watches, which could be awarded for a feat. Already after the war, "Commander's" watches began to be made at the Chistopol Watch Factory.
13. Seagull
The most beautiful car Soviet Union, "Seagull" was the most massive Soviet executive class car. In terms of its external appearance, the car was a compilation of design solutions from the American automobile industry, the so-called fin style, or “Detroit Baroque”.
14. ZAZ 965. "Hunchbacked"
ZAZ 965 was a real "people's car". In its production, the Italian Fiat 600 was taken as the basis. "Hunchback" was a star, he starred in such films as "Three plus two", "Queen of the gas station" and many others. A “humpback” appeared even in the cartoons “Just you wait” and “Vacation in Prostokvashino”.
15. Badges
Everyone in the USSR had badges. They were worn by Octobrists, pioneers, Komsomol members, party members, athletes and ordinary workers. The badges were issued to anniversaries, for the anniversaries of the general secretaries, for the holidays. They were convertible currencies. Valuable badges were valued dearly.
16. VAZ 2101. "Penny"
VAZ 2101, "Kopeyka" - a legendary car. The Italian Fiat 124 was taken as the prototype of the first Zhiguli model. The Kopeyka was a favorite car not only in the Soviet Union, but also in the countries of the socialist bloc. In Cuba, to this day, "penny limousines" are used as fixed-route taxis. In 2000, the magazine "Za Rulem" recognized the VAZ 2101 as "the best Russian car of the century."
17. "Belaz"
BelAZ-540 was one of the best mining dump trucks in the world. This giant became the first owner of the Quality Mark and was a real breakthrough in technological thought. It was the first car produced in the USSR with hydropneumatic wheel suspension, combined power steering and body lift hydraulic systems.
18. Batteries "Planet"
Flat batteries "Planet" not only powered various portable devices, but were also a must-have for every Soviet child. From above, they were usually sealed with a strip of paper with the inscription “If you didn’t check it, don’t open it,” and you could check them only by opening them - with your tongue, if it stings, then it’s good.
19. Battery
Another source of power, the battery, was of interest to the Soviet children for completely different reasons. His suitability for the job was unimportant. Lead plates were important, which easily melted and turned into handicrafts - from brass knuckles to amulets.
20. "Meteor"
Winged "Meteors" and "Rockets", designed by designer Rostislav Alekseev, were the fastest ships of the USSR. The famous pilot Hero of the Soviet Union Mikhail Devyatayev became the first captain of the Meteor, who during the war years was able to escape from captivity by hijacking an enemy bomber.
21. Tumbler
Everything ingenious is simple. The roly-poly was the main children's toy for several generations of Soviet children. She taught children resilience. Those who were coming out of the age of playing with her used a tumbler to create a "smoke".
22. Avoska
Although we associate the shopping bag with the USSR, it was invented by the Czech Vavrzhin Krchil in late XIX century. However, it was in the Union that the string bag became a cult item. It is believed that the name "string bag" was invented in the 1930s by the writer Vladimir Polyakov.
Avoski differed in compactness and spaciousness. In winter, food was often hung in them outside the windows. And then the thieves cut off the shopping bags from the windows.
23. Vacuum cleaner "Whirlwind"
In addition to the stylish design, the Whirlwind vacuum cleaners also differed from others in their incredible power. Until now, "Whirlwinds" are many in the dachas and are used to clean up even industrial waste.
24. Apparatus gas water
On April 16, 1937, the first sparkling water machine was installed in the Smolny canteen. Later, automatic weapons began to appear in Moscow, and then throughout the Union. Just sparkling water cost one penny, sparkling water with syrup was sold for three pennies. The cups were reusable, they were simply rinsed with a jet of water.
25. Rocket "Satan"
The Americans called the Soviet strategic missile system R-36M "Satan" for a reason. In 1973, this missile became the most powerful ballistic system ever developed. Not a single missile defense system was able to withstand the SS-18, the radius of which was 10,000 kilometers
26. Motorcycle "Ural"
Ural is the king of Soviet motorcycles. Reliable, heavy, passable. The history of the Urals from the late 30s until 1964 was the history of a military motorcycle. Even when the motorcycle began to be sold to the townsfolk, the owner of the Ural was obliged to register with the military, and the traffic police forbade using a motorcycle without a sidecar.
27. Bicycle "Kama"
"Kama" was a real bestseller. In the late 80s, this bike cost 100 rubles, which was not so little, but queues lined up for it anyway. "Kama" was actively "tuned": pasted over with stickers with racing cars, a fringe was hung on the "seat" and handlebars, and details from the designer were put on the knitting needles.
28. Scooter "Ant"
There were no hipsters in the USSR, but there were scooters. And not only road and tourist, but also cargo. Who remembers the USSR, remembers the Ants scooters. Hard workers, builders and plumbers loved to ride them.
29. Electronic game "Just you wait!"
The main gaming gadget of the 1980s. The wolf must catch as many eggs as possible in the basket, "supplied" by chickens from four sides. For each egg caught, a point was counted, for each broken egg- a point was taken away. After scoring 200 points, the player received bonus game. During the game, periodically a hare appeared in the upper corner of the screen, and then you could earn bonus points.
30. Budenovka
Budenovka was called both "Frunzenka" and "hero". The top of the Budyonovka was jokingly called the "brain outlet". It was introduced as part of the winter uniform of the Red Army in 1919. Until 1940, Budyonovka invariably correlated with the fighters of the Red Army, but after Finnish war was replaced with a hat.
31. Tarpaulin boots
Tarpaulin boots are more than shoes. Ivan Plotnikov, who set up their production before the war, received Stalin Prize. By the end of the war, 10 million Soviet soldiers were wearing tarpaulin boots. After the war, everyone wore "kirzachs" - from old people to schoolchildren.
32. Riga trains
In the late USSR, the electric trains of the Riga Carriage Works were considered the best electric trains. They were truly cutting edge. The inventor of the trolleybus train, Vladimir Veklich, had an internship at the Riga plant.
33. Double-decker trolley bus YATB-3
From 1939 to 1953, there were double-decker trolleybuses of the Yaroslavl Automobile Plant YaTB-3 in Moscow. Most residents former USSR this trolleybus is familiar from the film "Foundling", in which it appears in one of the episodes, and in the 1947 film "Spring" both cars that survived after the war get into the frame at the same time. Also found in an episode in the film "Happy Flight".
34. Electric shaver "Kharkiv"
The cult Soviet electric razor with a trimmer Kharkiv 109. Its circulation amounted to more than 30 million pieces. The razor worked from current sources with different ranges. That is why it was indispensable on business trips and long trips.
35. Vest
The sailors had a vest long before the USSR, but it was in the Soviet Union that the vest became more than a vest - from the sailors it migrated to the wardrobe of the paratroopers. The official premiere of the blue striped vests took place during the events in Prague in August 1968: it was the Soviet paratroopers in striped jerseys that played the decisive role in ending the Prague Spring.
36. Jacket
The authorities of the USSR saw in the padded jacket the ideal clothing that is functional both for work and for war. In 1932, quilted jackets actually become uniforms for the builders of the White Sea Canal.
In the 1930s, quilted jackets begin to move through the cinema. For example, in cult film"Chapaev" in quilted jackets are flaunted by Anka and Petka, thus demonstrating the "universality" of this clothing.
Great Patriotic War turned the quilted jacket into a real cult, making it the clothes of the winners.
37. Flashlight "Bug"
Such electrodynamic flashlights were in almost every family. Ergonomic and almost eternal - you only have time to change the light bulb. Before use, the handle of the dynamo machine was removed from the fuse, which, coupled with the decent weight of the lantern, gave the feeling of a weapon in the hands. The best thing is to go to a dark basement with disturbing music.
38. Tear-off calendar
Soviet tear-off calendars gave a sense of celebration. Every day. Memorable events were celebrated there, chess studies and reprints of paintings were published. The length of the day and the times of sunrise and sunset were also noted. It was also convenient to take notes on calendars.
Retro (also retro style; retro style from lat. Retro “back”, “turned to the past”, “retrospective”) is a fairly abstract art and history term used to describe various categories of antiques that have some kind of cultural and / or material value, and, as a rule, infrequently encountered in modern Everyday life with its deliberate practicality and the desire to get rid of "extra" details.

Indeed, the history of the country and a bygone era is reflected in antiquities ...
There are still a lot of people who remember life during the Soviet era. Since that time, many habits and things have remained that next generations they simply won’t be able to understand, because for this it was necessary to live in completely different conditions. Do you recognize them or will these things be a discovery for you?
1. yeast tea mushroom
At some point, jars and bottles with tea and milk mushrooms firmly settled in Soviet kitchens.
At first, the housewives, by hook or by crook, tried to get the cherished piece, and then, as the pet grew, they began to look for places to build a prolific miracle.
This invention was not new; kombucha was known back in Ancient China, but in the USSR, the drink obtained on its basis was attributed simply miraculous properties. True, doctors have not been able to find these healing properties ...
2. Carpets on the walls
In the USSR, it was almost impossible to find a house that did not have at least one carpet hanging on the wall.
Traditionally, this interior detail was supposed to be located on the floor, but in Soviet homes, the carpet has firmly taken root on the walls.
Where this tradition came from is already difficult to say, but there was also a benefit from this - and sound and heat insulation in the apartments then was not at its best. high level. So the carpets solved this issue somewhat.
3. Siphon for sparkling water
Such soda siphons were very popular throughout Europe even before World War II.
Over time, the device moved to Soviet Union, allowing you to make soda right at home.
Especially talented ones even managed to add gas to vodka. The siphon received such an application during the struggle against drunkenness at the dawn of perestroika.
4. Cord or elastic mittens
Any thing in the USSR was very much appreciated, because most of the goods could not just be bought, they had to be obtained.
So even children had no right to lose good woolen mittens. So such a simple design took root - the mittens were connected with an elastic band and then threaded through the sleeves along the back of the outerwear.
5. Number in line
The line for the deficit was endless. To get to the treasured goods, one had to stand in line for days, resolve conflicts such as "you were not standing here", etc.
Here they came up with the idea of writing numbers on their hands, meeting regularly, choosing a senior in turn, who kept records of those standing, crossed out those who did not come to check in on time, etc.
6. String bag
The same total shortage became the inspiration for the appearance and wide distribution of this accessory. It is not known when and where something worthwhile will come across and you must always be ready in the best pioneer traditions.
Here the string bag came to the rescue - a mesh bag, durable, lightweight, compact and at the same time incredibly roomy.
By the way, you could also do it yourself.
7. Collection of recyclables
Traditional in the USSR was such an event as the collection of waste paper and scrap metal.
In schools, classes regularly competed in the amount collected.
The return of waste paper also made it possible to receive coupons for the purchase of books. For example, for the collected works of Alexandre Dumas, it was required to hand over 20 kg of old paper. Glassware was also profitable way improve your well-being.
8. sausage trains
Products could be obtained mainly in major cities, on the periphery before the holidays, it was problematic to find something "tasty".
Therefore, the first shopping tours to the cities for sausage and other sweets were organized.
9. Red lantern in the bathroom
People in the USSR loved to take pictures. But developing and printing photos in professional studios was too expensive and not so interesting.
Therefore, every amateur photographer mastered the intricacies of developing films and printing photographs, and the bathroom or kitchen periodically turned into a darkroom with red light, developers, fixers, films and wet photographs.
10. Music on x-rays(Music on the bones, or as it was also called "on the skulls", "on the ribs")
In the USSR, not every genre of music was officially allowed.
There were lists of corrupting and imperialist groups and performers. It was almost impossible to get a record of jazz or rock and roll.
But people have found a way out. For the record, they re-recorded on used films from X-ray machines. That was real music on the bones!
Let's start with something that no Soviet person could do without! Matches!
This product of the Balabanovskaya experimental factory at a price of 1 kopeck per box truly was and remains not even the first, but the highest necessity, although ... Of course, there are lighters, and the stove already knows how to light up on its own, and sometimes at night, without finding matches and lighters, I smoke from her! And this trick is not entirely safe ... But all it’s a match ... By the way, the disposable lighters that are now common were terribly valued, even empty ones did not disappear in the USSR - a valve was cut into them and reused. There were two reasons - firstly, Soviet gas lighters worked worse than current Chinese ones, and secondly, it was just "fashionable" ...
Here is another essential item. By the way, when any cataclysm occurs, Matches and Needles instantly become a terrible deficit. This is so by the way, do not take it for panicking ...
Of course, you can say to me: "But what about salt?" and you will be absolutely right, it's just that I
there is no photo of a pack of salt of those years for 7 kopecks. - stone PO 10 - "extra" - per pack! Matches, Needles and Salt!
There is a similar modern one: the one on the left...
but then, after she pulled all my pockets, I began to live the old fashioned way - with change in my pockets!
So, coin
And now Another item without which a normal Soviet person would not go shopping.
This is Avoska! True, I did not like her and tried my best to replace them with plastic bags ...
Universal wand - lifesaver in shopping trips. Almost out of service
does not take up much space, in the case of application - stretches to incredible sizes.
A little about the history of the name (if someone does not know). In the early sixties, when the country began
the process of food shortages, Arkady Isaakovich Raikin went on stage with this net and
explained: "What is this mesh Avoska! Perhaps something will be thrown into the sale and where is it thrown
put always there!" By the way, Avoska has another important aspect of the application - combat!
A couple - three cans of any canned food in a metal package carelessly thrown into Avoska
turn it, in capable hands, into a terrible weapon of any fight ...
Other disposable nonsense like these cups was also appreciated ...
And how the packages were valued ... Firstly, even a cheap T-shirt cost a ruble, and any package with handles - 3,
and if the picture on it is beautiful, then as many as 5 ...
Girls with bags, like today with "Vittons", went ...
The packages were taken care of, washed and washed, even simple packaging ...
Bags unfortunately a disposable thing therefore did not survive.
Well, now I ask you to love and favor! The first (and, I must say, the most reliable)
computer trading! In the early 90s, they were eagerly bought by foreign tourists ... But what about a rarity, sir ...
Accounts! To be precise in the title "Accounts stationery"! Real craftsmen
counted on them with such speed that it seemed incomprehensible to the mind.
Unfortunately, I could not find photos of those "children's" bills, but all their difference from
big was in size and nothing else.
Yes, there were Bukhs at that time. Imagine the annual balance of the accounts...
However, there was also mechanization - from the simplest Felix
Which I had to master because it seemed to cost 15 rubles
A Soviet-made calculator is like this:
Already 220 rubles in 1979 ... So I learned to count on Felix ...
And to the "quick" ... (this is the same Felix, but with a motor)
And even before the Iskra. But this is already the end of the 80s, my first PC ...
The red reset button on the keyboard was especially pleasing ...
We mocked the secretaries and glued the signature "any key" to her ...
And here is another of the main food products, or rather the container from under it.
Milk! Kefir! Yogurt! Acidophilus! And all in a glass bottle!
With multi-colour foil lid...
White - milk, green - kefir, golden - fermented baked milk ...
And she is a treasure in her own right! The price of an empty container is 15 kopecks! A pack of cigarettes, damn it!
A pack of "Prima" for 14 kopecks and a box of matches!
Thus, by handing over empty dishes, one could buy something.
This also applied to wine and beer bottles, which cost from 12 to 20 kopecks a day.
depending on the volume, then it seems that in 1983 everyone began to cost the same 20 kopecks.
There was even a joke. What is the derivative of drunkenness? - booze on handed over dishes!
So that booze is good in which the second derivative is not equal to zero!
True, there were still triangular bags, but they always flowed,
and later, by the 80s, tetrapacks appeared ...
Now let's go to the grocery store and go to the meat department and we will be greeted right away by...
Wrong! Not meat, but this poster!
Exactly the same poster was about lamb and about pork. And standing in front of an almost empty shop window
you began to quietly shize ... You saw juicy chops from the loin of beef, or shish kebab
from a young lamb, well, or, pork roast ...
And leaving the store with a "soup set" you, with a half-empty string bag, trudged home!
Everything is like in a sad joke of those years. In the "meat" there is no meat, but in the fish - fish ...
And you can't say that you don't have money! Well, yes, you are not a millionaire, but in almost every Soviet
the family had this gray book! And even several, and during the Gaidar shock
a lot of people got burned with them ... Until the last they believed in the Savings Bank ...
And in the USSR, it was a way to save up for something worthwhile. It's no secret that when
money can be easily put somewhere (under linen in a closet, in a jar on the mezzanine, in a book
on a bookshelf, etc. etc.), then they get out of there as soon as you want!
Another thing is a savings book ...
While you go to the savings bank with it, and stand in line - you look and the desire to spend is gone ...
I suggest you leave the store and look, for example, at the Pharmacy!
I think that in terms of the number of customers, pharmacies are not inferior to stores, but there were years when
pharmacies and excelled. For example, during the years of the anti-alcohol struggle!
From the shelves of pharmacies instantly disappeared all kinds of penny alcohol tinctures
And then it was his turn...
Well, of course it is! Handsome "Triple"! Well, if there were ladies, then some "Lilac" was taken
And here is the famous tooth powder. Who could have known that it acts like an abrasive stone on the teeth!?
But the buckle from the belt, with his help, I polished to a shine!
For the sake of truth, I’ll say that during the years of my childhood it was sold not in a metal, but in a cardboard box.
And in Soviet pharmacies, a set "drug addict's dream" was sold.
Ephedrine - please, solutan - as much as you want, and absolutely "codeine with terpinhydrate" ...
True, in the early 80s the latter was banned ...
Well, now about the saint! About sex! They say that there was no sex in the USSR! Bullshit!
There was sex, but fraught with difficulties ...
Actually for that soviet man to overcome them heroically!
In hostels - raids, in hotels, in one room - according to the passport,
the housing issue was no less, but more severe than it is now,
so if you want to "live" know how to spin ...
There were even condoms!
So, it was "rubber" that was called the unsightly product No. 2 of the Bakov factory
rubber products, the first product seemed to be a gas mask ...
"Rubber" - just enough, but this is the work of Bakovka, abundantly sprinkled with talc
and with the characteristic smell of galoshes, as a rule, it did not cause violent joy.
Of course, sometimes some people were "lucky" and they got the product "from there".
Legends about all kinds of colors, designs and bells and whistles were passed from mouth to mouth.
But for the majority of the population of our homeland, "rubber" remained.
Closer to the 80s, other products of the same manufacturer appeared - "checked by electronics":
So! Let's go outside. Let's go out and go to the retail places.
Retail blossomed in summer. What do you want most hot summer day?
Well, of course, drink! And here His Majesty Kvass comes to the rescue!
I think that there is not a single person who would not love this wonderful drink,
even if he is "barrel" ...
12 kopecks a liter, 6 kopecks "large" half-liter mug and 3 kopecks "small 250 grams.
Glass mugs, of course, rinse them right there - so don't be afraid - maybe it will blow over ...
The same mugs in all pubs ...
Particularly squeamish carried mugs with them, some drank from half-liter jars ...
But kvass has an undoubted competitor - Her Highness Soda!
The picture shows wonderful vending machines for soda water from the Kharkov plant.
3 kopecks with syrup and 1 kopeck "clean". The machines have changed, but the price has not.
The vending machines had faceted glasses.
I washed them myself...
And another leader in street sales - Their Excellency Beer! Cask!
However, closer to the 80s, barrels of beer in Moscow disappeared, replaced by stationary stalls
and semi-automatic breweries.
BUT that there was no queue? I suspect that this is the so-called. staged photo!
But such machines were usually in large organizations
or in specialized automatic cafes.
But all good things come to an end... Summer ends and barrels go to warehouses,
and the machines are "preserved" ...
Let's have a rest ... And this is for fun
The question is, how much did these cigarettes cost and what did the people call them?
